Trick or Treat



If you're hopping over from You: Create, the butterfly wings are about half way down, but feel free to read the rest too!

We've had lots of Halloween fun around here!

Our local library had a snack time called "Gross Grub" on Friday.


The menu, which included such delicacies as monster toes and used bandaids


Organ Donor Cupcakes
Did you know they were doing brain transplants now?! Me either.


Yum! I mean Yuck.


Our little Bugs:

Nate the Bumble Bee


Gabby the Lady Bug


And Kate the Butterfly, since I never got a chance to post about her costume, due to being sick, her wings are made of sandwiched painted cardboard, with cut outs to expose the colors.


I placed tissue paper between two sheets of contact paper. The two wings are connected by black duct tape (sticky sides together) and then ribbon lace through to tie them on.

Saturday we attended a "Trail of Treats" at a local park.


Then we went to "Trunk or Treat" at the church.

We're on sweets overload, especial since Justin can't eat much this year. The girls had fun, though Gabby was painfully shy. Both Kate and Nate participated in the costume contest at the church. Kate got the "Most Creative Costume" award. She tells us it is "because God created butterflies, so I got the created award." Nate got the "Coolest Bumblebee" award--yes every participant got an award.

The best part of the weekend was on the way home from Trunk or Treat the girls were trying to laugh like the gal dressed like a witch. Then we hear Nate start in with a little cackle too.

Wow! Those wings are so fun, I am impressed! One of these years I am going to make a costume. :)

It's been a lot of years since I've made a costume. Yours turned out great.

Oh, that turned out so well!!! And I gagged a little at "used bandaids." Oh my word.
