Just Like Dad....

Shopping not too long ago with the kids, THE Man
finds a pair of shoes. 

He won't give up.

He has gotta have them.

I stop the hunt and say something like, but you won't wear them.

"Yes, I will."

and before I say yes or no

he says,

"I am getting shoes just like daddy, only daddy's are bigger!"

How could I say no?

 

I never knew they made this kind of kids clothing.....

So we went to the Mulberry Bush Consignment Sale today.
This can be such a fun sale.  I went on Thursday and found some great deals.  Today was 1/2 price day. 
The girls went with me. 
I really wished I had brought my camera.  I forgot that my phone would have worked too.
But in girls' size 3 we found this tag:
size 3
Gap Strip Shorts

To which Fun Girl chokes and pokes me.  Asks me, "What are strip shorts?"
HA!  HA!  I was, also, on the phone chatting with Dara.  Cause we used to do this sale together and I was missing her company.  Vicariously, shopping with her via phone. :) 

"Strip shorts...the kind of shorts that are easy for a 3 year to take off," I tell her.
Badda bing, badda boom.
Several moms in the area are laughing.  Dara is laughing.  She reminded us those were Brylee's favorite kind of shorts a few years back.  They were Little Princess's favorites as well.

Then the bubble burst and we are corrected.  They aren't STRIP shorts, the are stripE shorts.  Hence, the stripes on the shorts.  Bummer, cause I was trying to think of a little girl I knew that would like to have a pair of strip shorts

For You Dara ~ He doesn't look like Big Bird

Hockey Player circled this shirt on our most recent shopping spree in Wisconsin.  I kinda missed what was going on with Hockey Player and the shirt.  Fun Girl was keeping me a bit preoccupied with her collection of things to try on.  But Ms. Dara did not miss a beat.  She pulled me off to the side and said I had to buy it.  Hockey Player had been circling the rack and had picked it up to look at a couple of times.  Okay!
Hockey Player rarely speaks up.  So I was really glad Dara said something, 'cause Hockey Player is really picky about clothes.  He has definite likes and dislikes.  I know he likes compression shirts.  But I would never have guessed he would have gravitated to one this color. 

You know what?  I think it looks pretty good on him. 
Ms. Dara has asked for pictures several times.  In her words, "Only Hockey Player could wear this shirt and not look like Big Bird!" 
She's right.
