Shoes-July 24, 2015

We took Hannah shoe shopping yesterday. Derrick could not believe we actually took her inside a shoe store. Why not? We would not have wanted to miss that. We explained that we would only go to the children's department, so that's where we headed once inside. She was so excited to see so many shoes. She started running up and down the aisles and saying, "Grammy, look at these!". Everybody in the store heard her but we did not care. Then she found the mirrors and I could not run fast enough to stop her from finding every mirror in the store. I told her that was so she could look at the shoes she tried on. Once we settled on a pair, I put them on and told her to go look in the mirror. The look on her face was priceless. We fell for the trap and bought a pair of those shoes that light up when kids walk. I know you have seen them. These are Minnie Mouse shoes with bows. Very cute. The first pair we tried on failed to light up on the left shoe, so Jerry found a pair where both worked. In the meantime an elderly (like us) lady walked past us. Hannah stuck her foot in front of the lady and said "This one does not work!". I just gave her that look we all get when grandkids do something funny. She laughed. We settled on a pair for Hannah and then got a pair for Zoey. Zoey has never had a pair of shoes.

We left there and headed for Nordy's for lunch. It's the best food around here. Hannah was very good but when she was done, it was time to go. It had already been a long day so we did not push our luck.

How could I forget? Hannah has all those mew-mews that have to go with her. Yesterday, Cheetah was ordered to ride in Zoey's car seat.

Yes, indeed he was buckled in. He enjoyed the ride almost as much

as Zoey does.

 

While I could not sleep one night I came up with an idea to try to get Hannah to eat more fruit and veggies. I tried it yesterday afternoon. And it worked beautifully.

 

Hannah ate 3 butterflies! Sorry I cannot

figure out how to turn this picture around in the

right direction.

 

We have a day of rest today. Then we have both girls tomorrow. We're contemplating taking them to an art show and let someone paint their faces. We'll see how the weather goes. It's really hot and we don't feel like they need to suffer just for us to do something we want to do.
