Did you guess a butterfly and bug catcher? If so you would be right!
Little Man wore it until it was time for trick or treating, at which time he transformed himself into some scary scream guy.
Gotta love that prepubescent tween age. It's so uncool to go trick or treating, let alone be a bug catcher. But funny thing is after about one block he turned into a safari guy because the mask was too hot and annoying or something. Gotta love 'em. My daughter is convinced that scary costumes always get more candy. I can hardly wait. (Sarcasm.)
So, there ya have it. Another Halloween down. How was your Halloween? Have many smiles?
If you missed my Project Smile party, it's not too late to share your smiles. It's open until November 6th at midnight.

I am IN LOVE with the butterfly! So pretty! Hilarious that your son changed..haha. My kids went out for the first time and loved it. So cute. I'll link up later...
ReplyDeletehow unique their costumes were. I like them a lot!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the shout out about my list. And as usual awesome photos do you ever take a bad photo? Or maybe you just don't show us!
ReplyDeleteUber-cool costumes -very unique! And I love it that they're coordinated! :)
ReplyDeleteLove that butterfly costume!! What great Halloween memories!!
ReplyDeleteCute pictures, and great costumes! I love the head shot of your daughter in the third row...she is absolutely beautiful! I wish my daughter would pose and smile for me when I try to take her picture.
ReplyDeleteWe seemed to celebrate Halloween for three days straight. My pics aren't in my WW, but they are in the next post down on my blog. ;-)
Thanks for the linky. Happy WW!
You are so creative! I love the theme since I'm a naturalist at heart. Great costumes and photos. Happy WW from David :0)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. That is one massive net! WOW yah, I'm not into scary costumes. LOL

ReplyDeletexo, Alysha
Sounds like sweet fun!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of their costumes!
Happy Wednesday Alicia!
I adore the collage that you made - lovely! Looks like y'all had a bunch of fun:)
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly costume is stunning! And I love her little catcher. So creative!!
ReplyDeleteI love the butterfly costume.. so lovely!!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if scary costumes get more sweets as I'm more inclined to give sweets to kids with cute costumes.
Wonderful collage. :)
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly is gorgeous.The mask scary ;)
ReplyDeleteVery sweet captures.
ReplyDeleteGreat costumes!!
ReplyDeleteWe have to bundle up so much here in Canada, our choices are sort of limited.
Ya, I pout!

I ADORE those costumes!!! So creative and darling!
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly is fantastic. Amazing shot as always. What do you use for your collage layouts, if I can ask? Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love how friendly and welcoming your blog feels. Feels like coming home to an old friend's place even though I just found it today! Thanks for the good vibes!
ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE your daughter's costume!! I can't wait to dress the girls up like that :)
ReplyDeleteI, too, love your butterfly. The photos are great, too. You've captured so much personality. Also funny to see the stages of Halloween through the eyes of 'tweens!
ReplyDeleteWow for creativity!
ReplyDeleteLove that they will dress up together! So much fun!
ReplyDeleteI love this year's matching costumes - what a great idea! I am so not looking forward to when my kids want scary costumes - my oldest is already asking to be a vampire next year. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteGreat costumes, your daughter looks gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
Amazing! Did you make the costumes? your daughter is so pretty as the butterfly. And your son was very dapper as a trapper, what a Huge net!
ReplyDeleteI love the butterfly and bug catcher costume. It is a clever costume pair without being too common. Love it.
ReplyDeleteYour kids were so cute!! My 11 year old boy also was minimalist by the time Trick or Treat rolled around (he had a whole costume the week before for a party but bits and pieces mysteriously disappeared over the week! Ghosts maybe.......
ReplyDeleteAwesome costumes! By the way, I love Pokey's hair. Did she get it cut again? Oh and the scary costumes...they don't get any better as they get older. My son always wants to be something bloody and scary. Blah!
ReplyDeleteKristi, Live and Love...Out Loud
@TweetingMama
What a great team.. Love it. Hope she got away,lol.
ReplyDeleteHow fun!!! Love her butterfly wings, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful butterfly and fun bug hunter! Love that their costumes are so much more unique that what I must confess are often store bought costumes from me. Though father & son did handcraft a wand for our boy's transformation into Harry Potter this year & it came out pretty cool! (If you're curious, its the post before the one I've linked up with you for Wordless Wednesday, with more kidlet creative fun! :>) Hope you are having a wonderful week! I'm looking forward to hopping around the link ups tomorrow...after I catch a couple of winks tonight! :>
ReplyDeleteWhat fun pictures love all the costumes.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
Precious photos!! Love the costumes, amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea for costumes. Very original and adorable!
ReplyDeleteLove the costumes!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so precious. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. Happy WW.
ReplyDeleteI played too. Mine are here and here.
Looks like they has loads of fun. I love the costumes.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun photos Alicia. And great costumes.
ReplyDeleteThis halloween was an experience of how things change as your kids get older. Not bad change just different. Halloween with a teen and tween :)
Your kids are lovely and the costumes are brilliant!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW :)
You came up with such unique costume choices. Really cute.
ReplyDeleteOh...the butterfly and catcher is soooo clever! Love it. I do, however, get his needing to be a "boy" in the end, tho. :)
ReplyDeleteI love their costume choice! Was your daughter right? Did the scary costume get more candy? For my part, I always reward non-scary and creative costumes with more candy. Looks like they had a great night!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. My granddaughter did the same thing. Had two costumes going.
ReplyDeleteLove your kid's costumes. Especially the bug catcher. Totally understand the scary costume theory. But I always give the cute ones more, so tell her that!
ReplyDeleteADORABLE!
ReplyDeleteMy tween was sooo stoked about trick or treating until one of her older friends from the neighborhood walked by (costumeless)... then suddenly, she became embarrassed!
Great costume ... that's a gorgeous butterfly. Our granddaughter went as an Aqua Fairy -- turquoise wings and we did some fun eye makeup. =)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great Halloween. Love the costumes!
ReplyDeleteGreat costumes. Love the Scream costume.
ReplyDeleteThey were absolutely gorgeous costumes. Your daughter is the prettiest butterfly I have ever seen, seriously. She looks like a ballerina ready for recital.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a terrific Halloween! Great collage!
ReplyDeleteThose costumes are genius! Love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat awesome costumes! Love the matching themes--- I kept the kids as separate themes this year but will pair them up next year!
ReplyDeletelooks like a lot of fun at your house! Your kids are adorable!
ReplyDeleteScary is fun :)
That butterfly outfit is just amazing. I sort of wish I had one of my own.
ReplyDeletePerfect idea!! This totally put a smile on my face!
ReplyDeleteTerrific costumes!!! Happy WW ;)
ReplyDeleteVery nice costumes! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! They look so awesome! I love the butterfly costume!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter's looking more like you every day :)
ReplyDeleteIncredible montage!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm back to link up :) Happy WW..thanks for being such a gracious host.
ReplyDeleteMine is super cute today!
What a wonderful idea!! Of course he had to change into something more scary.. lol!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great series of pics!
ReplyDeleteMimi
gorgeous pics as always!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable. My boys would not even think about cute this year. My 7 year old wanted to be a scary clown and my 11 year old wore normal clothes with a scream mask and a sombrero! Crazy kid! ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat pics as always. Love the bug catcher costume - it's so much more creative than the scream mask! And that is one GIANT net!! I love her butterfly costume - she's the most elegant (human) butterfly I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteGreat costumes!!! I also love your collage! :D
ReplyDeleteI love group and pair costumes - so much fun! They look great. We had a lot of those scream guys come to our house. Boys will be boys.
ReplyDeletei love how you have them go in pairs..
ReplyDeletethat makes them so much more creative in my opinion!
Beautiful photos! I love the pair costumes, so clever. Your children are such a reflection of you.
ReplyDeleteI tried to leave a comment last night and I don't think it ever worked. Trying again! I love your costumes!! So creative! I also love your photo collage!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great Halloween!!! Love all your fun photos!!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful butterfly! I saw lots of them at the Renaissance Festival. So cute!
ReplyDeletesame w/ my 11yr old - wore a scary mask and brought home a LOT of candy.
ReplyDeleteThey both look fabulous! I love the creativity on the costumes.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures, and your children, are beautiful! What a breathtaking butterfly. ;)
ReplyDeleteMy little one was one, as well. Just with wings and a headband/antennae ... but lots of flutterbyes this year!
Your children are adorable! Loved their costumes! and at least your son humored you for a bit (I'm sure he loved it even if he doesn't admit it :) )
ReplyDeleteGreat captures!
ReplyDeleteI have a 12 year old and all she wore were kitty cat ears! My 3 year old wore the whole kitty cat costume. =)
I love Halloween pictures!
Your kids are just beyond beautiful. Those costumes were great!

I'm so sorry my link is in there twice. The computer kept timing out! :-)
ReplyDeleteAdorable butterfly and catcher. Great pictures. I can't believe you got a tween boy to dress up for pictures. That is a work in itself. He made a great scream guy later. But, her make-up takes the cake, it looks perfect with her outfit.
Happy WW!
