Welcome

I am proud of my family. I love Jesus. I am not perfect. I like junk food, particularly potato chips. I work out with my sexy rock star husband. I hate it. I do it for the company. My children make my heart beat. I was once a full time photographer. I retired to loose my sanity by becoming a stay-at-home Mom. I recently came out of retirement to avoid the looney-bin. Please enjoy the funny stories of my family, the hilarity of me trying to work out & find my skinny and the every-now-and-then crafts that I begin but rarely finish.
God Save The Queen.....

Our $11, $11 Purchase

So Wal-Mart last night.

We went to get Toot's school supplies.

Don't ask why we waited until the last minute.

Passing by the shoe section, one of the girls {can't remember which one} started screaming:

"chooooos!! choooos!! CHOOOOOS!!"

Now I remember, it was Sophie.

They all three had a chance to pick out a toy {It was, after all, payday.}

Alexander picked out a Transformer {Big surprise there!!},

Izzy picked out 2 little people {A doctor and a dentist, no doubt},

and Sophie, my sweet sweet Sophie, picked out a book with red shoes on the front {she is her mother's child...round face, brown eyes, bull-headed, er, uh, good fashion sense...I digress}.

She spotted it before we could get it off the shelf, screaming "choos!! Choos, Momma!!"

They were red Mary Jane's with a little flower on the top.

She looked through that book several times before with actually made it to the shoe section

and then...

She saw the real thing!

It's not the easiest thing to find items in the same size in Wal-Mart.

It's not the easiest thing to find items in the same size in Wal-Mart in the same color.

It's not the easiest thing to find items in the same size in Wal-Mart in the same color that you LIKE.

Well, we found two pair of the same size purple Mary Jane's that we liked.

More importantly, that the Sisters liked.

Once the purple Mary Jane's were paid for and were at their new home, it was bed time.

But the Sisters were having nothing doing with Mom & Dad wanting to take them off.

"Night-Night Choooooos, Momma!!" was what we heard from them both.

Getting them off of fat feet was not an option.

Taking pictures of them sleeping with Purple Mary Jane Choooooos was the best option.
I swear I didn't pose Izzy. She really does sleep like that holding BeBe.

Sophie actually entrusted Blue to be held between her beloved new purple choooos!!
