Halloween 2011: A Life Cycle

Got it?


EGG on a leaf to CATERPILLAR to COCOON to BUTTERFLY

Tyson just got a sheet from goodwill to wrap around himself, and I painted a leaf, cut out a hole and stuck my white shirted belly through it...
It worked out for all!

The caterpillar and butterfly.
I bought the wings for Berkleigh, but I made that caterpillar costume with no pattern.
Just eyeballed it and I can't believe it turned out at all.



Berkleigh has wanted to be a butterfly for awhile, so when I found the Monarch wings, I just had to... and the rest fell into place!


Merrick getting into character. He kept telling me, "Take a picture of me eating these weaves (leaves)."


We love our little bugs!

Really! So creative! I agree that the caterpillar is too cute. And it is so fun to see Berkleigh enjoying being a butterfly. Your egg on a leaf is so funny! Well done.
