Shoes for Moms

We had a fabulous time on the third annual Mother's Day shoe shopping trip. Caitlin gets the award because she flew in on the red eye just to make the event.

We've got it down to a science now. We start with the discount racks and then move on to the main rows o' shoes. After we fill up the giant mesh bags with shoes, we gather in a circle and evaluate, tossing out ones that duplicate or don't work and sometimes adding new ones in.

Some of my favorite quotes during this process...

"That shoe is very slimming. It's a slenderizer!"
"That duplicates animals, or at least continents. But even though it's a duplicate, I think you should still get it."
"Doesn't it look great? Too bad it's incredibly painful."

Before shoe shopping Bob and the boys were so sweet and gave me great cards, chocolates presents and breakfast.

No one's saying how many shoes were purchased.
