New Shoes

Who knew that getting new shoes for your kids could be a cardio-workout.  I have never moves so much ever.  We went to Little Chick here in Kalamazoo and they specialize in kids shoes.  Since my kids have wide feet like their mother that is where we shop.  And so trying to get a little boy to sit so they could tie his shoes was impossible and then to pick out shoes.  I think I may have just picked the first cute pair I saw.  Carter was running around the store and pulling shoes of the wall and rack faster than I could put them back on.  Poor Ella she was so good and so sweet.  I could hardly even see that her shoes fit because I was chasing Carter.  But the Flower Power (that is what we call Ella's shoes) are FAST.  Next time I need to remember to bring back up.

And I did forget to mention that two of the staff there were just watching me chase Carter and laughing.  They were making comments like "he doesn't walk, he runs".

Valentine's Day Gifts

So I realize that the Wii Fit is an item out there to be desired, but is getting one as a gift a message.  I got one from my husband for Valentine's Day and have to wonder just a bit, is he trying to tell me something?  Or is it that this is a gift for him more than it is me, since he was the one who was wanting the Wii in the first place.  Oh, I suppose that I should be glad that I did indeed get a gift, because that is not always the case.  I am excited to try it out none the less.
