Sadie the Butterfly
This Halloween was inspired by Eric Carle's book- The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Sadie is the butterfly at the end of the book and with all the time spent on those amazing wings, the caterpillar outfit did not get finished and so Wes was dressed in a cheetah costume. Buck/Dad makes the costumes each year. In fact, when I met him he had his own sewing machine and always had the best costumes. He says he gets his ideas from Uncle Bill and that the costumes have to be done right or not at all. We enjoyed ourselves and the babies didn't really know what was going on- but they were very cooperative participants.
Very beautiful wings, though our butterfly does look a little worried!

and perhaps true to form for a tiny cub- he kept trying to bite the costume that touched his cheek.
Cousin Elyse was also a butterfly with Sadie. The wings are so big they will probably be able to wear them as teenagers- but who knows what will be in fashion then.
