A "Very Hungry" Halloween

For some odd reason, I feel the need to (1) make our costumes from scratch and (2) have them all matching. Every year I know this is what I want to do but don't actually decide on the theme til I am forced to because Halloween is right around the corner. I decided on the book, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" as our theme the tuesday before Halloween. Boy was my plate full. I spent numerous nights staying up way past my bed time but I did it. I'm very happy the way each costume turned out.

Loli'i was the cutest caterpillar ever!


My Iwi boy was the watermelon. I loved that his costume was poncho style with no other accessories. It was perfect for him because I'm sure I would find pieces of his costume all over the ground.


My Na'u was the beautiful butterfly.
I made those wings out of wire hangers which were pretty sturdy. As we were trick-or-treating around our neighborhood, she kept on smacking other kids in the face as she walked by them. I had to keep on telling her, "sideways babe, walk sideways."

I was a simple cotton candy.
We didn't exactly have the book with us to remind us of the actual food that were in the story but I was totally sure that cotton candy was in there. We found out after Halloween that it wasn't but shhhhh....don't tell anyone :). The caterpillar still could have eaten it but just didn't document it.

We hope that everyone had a fun and festive Halloween!


P.S.-Our dad wanted to be grapes but the store was all out of purple balloons. So he ended up being Michael Jackson :).
