Daisy the Cow

We're working on our animal sounds and MC knows the cow by heart. She also likes the horse and the duck, but the cow is her favorite. The Chick-Fil-A commercial came on TV and pointing she said "says mooooo." Then she picks up her book and points to all the different animals and to each one she says "says moooo" (whether its a dog or cat, etc). Then she points at me and "says mooooo!" So I guess I should go to our Halloween party as a cow! Just call me Daisy.

I was just looking at the blog title: Miley Minutes. I've had alot of precious minutes lately. And they only last a minute it seems. "I'd rather have 10 minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special" - Steel Magnolias. Matt and I were walking out of church Sunday, and we decided to let MC walk by herself (holding her hands of course). If I could have taken a picture of Matt holding one of her hands and me holding the other...walking out of church together. Swinging her while she laughs is the best medicine I can recommend!

Then we were driving to Vicksburg the other day and there I was sitting in the passenger side watching her have a lovely, full, and funny conversation with herself and her stuffed animal. The entire way. I wish I would have had my video camera. I wish I could have frozen time so I'll always remember those wonderful minutes. (Not that the others aren't great too, but you understand). The little things that we love seem to only last a minute.

On a lighter note, here's a few pics remembering last year's Halloween...and this year.






What a difference a year makes! Look at the similarities between the group photos...there's a ladybug on the end of each, MC on the other end, a Batman, and a green reptile in the middle. Does anyone else find that interesting? Not planned by any means! Hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween!

That is so cute! Wow, what a difference a year makes! I never seem to have my camera around when one of the kids does something really cute or funny!

Unbelievable! I love those two of Jack and MC. Jack's a combination of duck and dumbo (with those ears!!) and MC does look like Madonna, circa 1984. Hilarious!
