The Heart of a Child

I had a sweet discussion with my girl today. It went a little something like this.

Enter Sam attempting to put on a pair of boots.

Maggie says,"Mommy are those rain boots."
Sam, "No, just regular boots. It would be nice to have some rain boots, but I don't need them. Did you know there are some people that don't have any shoes at all?"
Maggie, "We have lots of shoes. Maybe we should get them some!"
Sam,"Yeah, we have a lot of shoes we don't wear anymore or don't fit. Maybe we could get all those shoes together and give them to help people that don't have shoes."
Maggie, "Mommy that is a GREAT idea!"

Children have the best hearts. They maybe be selfish and not like to share. They may want their brother or sister to go far away, but when they see someone in need, they want to act. My Maggie is no different, and I am proud of her tender heart. I love that girl.

This is Halloween everybody make a scene, Halloween Halloween!!!

I seriously love my little ghouls. This year we went with theme costumes. Everyone meet Sally and Jack Skellingtion. Thank you Nightmare Before Christmas for the inspiration. We did end up going out and tricker treating. It was darn chilly, and sadly a lot of houses were not even giving out candy. But the ones that did. . . JACKPOT. People were even trying to get us to take candy for Miles. I politely declined. We also watch our good friends' Nicole and Josh's daughter Ella. She and Maggie ate special orange pancakes with sprinkles for Halloween breakfast. They took like two bites because they were too excited to play together. I tried to get a good picture, but it wasn't happening. So here are the pancakes.
