Meet our new friend

Meet our new friend. No...not that "friend". Look closer...


This is Moxie the Moo Cow and she is the newest addition to our family.


Moxie came into our lives unexpectedly over the weekend while Grace and I were out running errands. Really important errands, like shopping for a 1st birthday outfit. There she was, among beautiful, brightly colored sock monkeys...a diamond in the rough. Grace saw her right away and said hello by giving her a big, sloppy, open-mouthed kiss. It was love at first sight.


But we weren't looking to bring home any new additions that didn't involve party attire, so after I looked around to make sure no one was watching my child drool all over the merchandise, we prepared to say goodbye to our new found friend. We did our "bye-bye" wave and everything...

and then fate stepped in...

and Grace vomited all over Moxie's face.

The kind of mess you can't just wave bye-bye and walk away from. So we hightailed in to the bathroom to clean Moxie and headed to the register.

We later discovered Moxie opens up like a pillow. She's so full of surprises.


Welcome to the family.


(I'd insert a joke about greener pastures here, but once you've been puked on, is there really anywhere to go but up?)

xo,
H

  1. Bahaha---Moxie's adorable. I'm sure she's set to have all sort of additional body fluids soak into her throughout the coming years! Love the picture of Major too ;)
