Halloween Dress-up Round 1

Halloween is coming!

Well, Halloween is coming and I am very excited but cannot seem to get my act together quite yet. Bean keeps asking me when we are going to decorate and I want to but just don't--this weekend for sure. What is exciting to me is making the costumes. Bean wants to be a crocodile and Yaya wants to be a butterfly. M is working on the head and I am suppose to do the body and tail. Here are some pics of the progress of Crocodile 2011 (Butterfly 2011 is a work in no-progress yet).

Finished head with eyes modeled by M.

More pics to come.

Butterfly pics go here! :)

And OMG I want to make these!!! http://llevoelinvierno.blogspot.com/2011/03/make-alitas.html


Here is my bluebird version of the wings. One down and one to go (psst.....this is for me :)).

My girl is 4. How is this possible? I am still trying to get rid of my baby fat--with little success mind you--from having her and there is no way it has been four years already. What an amazing 4 years it has been with that little one. She has completely changed my life. Both of my kids have, obviously, but Yaya has done it in a way that floors me every time.

She is an independent, curious, stubborn, easy to laugh and easy to cry, intelligent, opinionated, pink-dress loving, dig in the dirt in the dress, make-up/hair accessory loving, Lego building, lover of books and markers little girl.
