Shoe Shopping with a 5 Year Old

This last couple days has been really fun I made a couple of tutu's that turned out really great.  Although after I made them someone introduced me to a website where I could buy them for $2! So I spent $20 to make two.  I think I over paid, but they turned out so super cute.

Then last night Abi and I made like a bazzillion of these cookies

They are oatmeal chocolate chip, because we don't believe in ruining cookies with dried fruit such as raisins!  After we made cookies, Ciara came over and we took some cookies over to the neighbors and me and Ciara and Angie made scrapbooked cards, it was so super fun!  I love hanging out with them.

 Then this morning I realised the down side to having a self sufficient child.  She puts her own shoes on so I don't see how they fit, and she isn't big on complaining.  So for the second time this week she came to me with blisters on her feet.  The first time being Friday, so we quit wearing those shoes and tried another.  Which  meant both pairs of her sneakers are now too small. UGH! So today we got to go shoe shopping which is usually fun, but not this time! I cannot figure out why all the shoes are stupid frigign canvas shoes!! Whatever happened to the cute kids DC's all they have now are different variations of the Sketchers TwinkleToes that light up and make me want to have seizures! Like these...

I mean really who on earth decided that ALL girl shoes should look like this, Nike, Echo, KSwiss and Sketchers all have a variation of THIS stupid seizure inducing shoe! So Me and the sales guy went round and round about how these shoes were just plain not going to work! I wanted something unique and different and NOT seizure material! He continued to tell me this was all they had! Then after 45 minutes of going back and forth he magically decides he will check the back room ONE more time!(he checked already 10 times) This time I supposed he was sick of me because he finally came back with something different! And low and behold it was the last pair and in her size! (Yeah Right!) So I chose this new cool shoe and moved on to sock shopping.  Which went fairly quickly and after an hour at the shoe store we finally leave with these...

Delta Force Low's (from the Air Force One Collection)

Much better right? These actually are made out of leather and might withstand a couple of months of being worn by a 5 year old. But we shall see....
