Beautiful Bugs

A few weeks ago our church held a fall festival. The girls decided to dress up as insects. Thankfully we already had a ladybug body from a couple of years ago, so I went to the dollar store and bought red wings and orange wings. I just painted on the black spots for Addie's wings, and tried to paint a monarch butterfly design on Eliana's wings. Then I found Olivia's wings on clearance a few hours before the festival (sometimes it pays to procrastinate!), and just stuck them all in black leotards and tights. Then we made little antennae headbands with pipe cleaners. Nothing fancy, but I think they looked adorable. :) Mai decided to be a cat, so she just borrowed some ears from the girls' dress-up trunk, and I drew on her whiskers and nose. She used one of Miller's black socks as a tail. Here they are, ready to go out and have fun!
