Sweet little Lucy confiscated her older brother's stinky Crocs a few days ago and toddled into my office to put them on. I asked if she needed help with them to which she violently shook her head "No!" For the next few moments, she entered deep concentration. Each shoe had to be on the correct foot. Once finished, she refused to take them off.
Twinstant blogger mommy mentioned in this post that her daughter fell in love with a silver sparkly pair of shoes from Nordstroms. Guess what? So did Lucy, and I cratered and bought them for her. Lucy leaves a trail of silver sparkle glitter behind her wherever she goes. I'm surprised she took them off long enough to put on these nasty Crocs. For now I'll indulge this shoe fetish. To quelch it would truly be the 'pot calling the kettle black'.
Here's Lucy's hip-Mama (that would be me) doing the same thing circa January 1977. I think I had better taste in shoe-swiping, however. I still remember hobbling around in those super cool Converse sneakers with no laces.
And now - for a bit that has nothing to do with shoes, I give you my latest creation. I painted the dots on the birdie's wings with white acrylic paint and just traced the flowers on the blue paper. The little birds are supposed to represent my 3 little birdies - Jack, Luke and Lucy. Did you figure that one out for yourself? Phew... Good!
The week has been hot and crazy busy with house chores and shuffling kids to and from camps and mother's day out. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a more peaceful week to come. I have way too many projects on my desk right now!
