*Whew*

So, let's sigh a big sigh of relief that this week is over! We made it through Super Saturday where I taught ladies how to sew an apron (a task that took about 5 hours, and still left me with 5 aprons to "finish"), starting teaching piano lessons (fun - maybe), and the Primary Program (yahoo!!).

So with all that accomplished, and Monday off of school for Veteran's Day, we went shopping to get Noelle new winter shoes. She needed some closed-toed shoes to wear to school that weren't her tennis shoes that she wears for P.E. First we went to Target, she didn't like anything there. Then we went to Payless, and she sort of liked the glitter ballet flats, but didn't think they were 'comfy' enough. I was at my wit's end, and since those are the only two places I go to get kid's shoes, was about to force her to get one of the pairs that I picked out. Then she realized that Ross was next door, so we went there to see what they had. That is where we found these:

When Noelle found these shoes it was like a Chariot's of Fire, slow motion thing. It was love at first sight. They are amazing suede pumps with alligator trim and a big turquoise buckle. She first only found them in a size 4 (two sizes too big) and swore that they fit perfectly. Luckily they did have her real size and they were purchased, to we worked off later that day. Later that day she wore them on a bike ride and at the park told our friend Brooke that they would probably make marks on her feet, but "That's the price you have to pay for fashion"! What a girl!

Now on to the picture of the week:

Brynn was taking a long time in the bathroom doing her business. I go in to check on her and find her taking her time reading the Highlights magazine. I think she learned it from her dad!
