Our Friend Archie

On Sunday afternoon Dig and MeMe came over to play in the snow with us. It took us FOREVER to get one of McCoy's mittens on and after about five minutes of us trying to get his thumb in the correct position, he was totally over it! Does anyone else have problems with this or is it just us??? So, we decided to go outside anyways and thought maybe he would really want his mittens (gloves, as kirk would prefer I say) once his hands got cold.
He immediately ran in the yard to help Daddy swing his golf club, got caught up in the snow, and fell!! Of course, his hands went into the snow and he didn't like it at all! Back into the garage he went and that is where he stayed!
Kirk tried to entice McCoy out by building a snowman. He did a great job on our snowman whom we call Archie! We even have a carrot for the nose, cranberries for the mouth and eyes, and twigs for the arms.
Once Archie was done, McCoy came out, said hello, and gave him a high five! They were instant buddies!

"High five, Archie!"

I tried to get a picture of Daddy, Dig, and McCoy with Archie, but McCoy didn't think that was a good idea. Notice him to the back right.... Not very happy!

McCoy is still really intrigued with Archie. When we leave or pull into the driveway, he waves and says "hi" or "bye". It's really cute! Today when we got home from MDO, he went outside and stuck Archie's carrot nose back on. Such a sweet boy! On a sad note, we're slowly losing Archie:( I don't think the carrot nose will hang on for much longer, he's lost his left eye, and his whole mouth is gone. We'll miss him but hope to see him again next year!
