my little bugs
one was sweet and toasty in her borrowed (not handmade) butterfly costume.
and one was spooky. He's the Haunted Hornet. Don't call him a bumblebee. He'll sting you. Now this one I did make. (What?! There's no haunted hornet costume in the stores? No way.)
Hope your Halloween was just the right amount of spooky. N swears she saw a monster, but interestingly enough, she's not the one who ended up in bed with us in the middle of the night.

OK, that last little bit about J ending up in bed with you?! Too sweet.
I love the Haunted Hornet. The wings are amazing! AMAZING! And don't worry J, I don't think you look like a bumblebee.
N is super cute, too. :)

Ha! He's going to be mad that you told us that!
And your butterfly looks much warmer than mine when I was a butterfly in tights and a leotard. And my wings were so huge I couldn't get in and out of the car. :)

The haunted hornet is fantastic. The wings, the eyes, the antennae--all so great!
And the butterfly is pretty darn cute too.

I love when siblings wear costumes that go together. That hornet looks great and how wonderful that he wants to be a hornet instead of some tv character.

funny! love the costumes, especially the bumbl...ahem, the haunted hornet. the one scary thing that happened to us yesterday is that the camera lost all the photos we took, and Fiona was such a cute kangaroo!

The wings on the hornet costume are so beautiful! Did you paint them on?

You rock mama! Awesome homemade costume. N looks quite sweet also, but you already knew that. :)
glad you all had a good night.
