Had to . . . .

 . . . while I cannot yet share the details of "Back to School Shopping Day 2010".

I can tell you . . . I had already purchased these shoes during Nordy's Anniversary Sale while in Seattle earlier this month.  $49.90 - a total steal.

So - Peanut is not yet "ready" to show her "First Day of School Outfit" ----- I'm not sure I'll ever be ready as I got the "exclusive preview" last night . . . (&^$~#@!)*!! 

Do teachers ever call the parents on the first day of school to address "issues"?!

We are off to a pool party today [thank goodness] so it's [outfit] is mild.

Work it girl!

WOWZA!
Aunt A, are you ready?!

I mean seriously.

Check her out.

Is she workin' it or is she workin' it?!

So Peanut comes in while I'm running on the treadmill and asks, "ya know that pile that is donations.....can I cut up a pair of MY old jeans and make them into shorts?"

Me, "sure, just don't cut them too short".

Then [dun dun dun dunahhhh] she walks in like this:

[yes, of course I stopped the mill for this].

Hmmmmm, but then I realized OMGosh, those are my old True Religion Big T flap pocket, heavy stitch jeans that I was going to sell on eBay!!! [side note, yes, they were next to the give-a-way pile but SOOOOOOOOOOOO not in the pile - certainly, at least 3' away.

So, I did what every mom would have done.  Freaked out [silently] and said, those are mine!! JK, that's so what I wanted to say then I turned my thoughts quickly to [Jesus ;) and] what a "good" mom would do [took two and a half [or 47] deep breaths and] I really said, "you completely rock, Kid" and took her to summer camp - exactly as pictured.

Now if she gets a stain on those, I'm really going to be ticked. ;)
