Mom fail.

So g is growing.  Obvs.  And he needs new shoes.  Why the hell are toddler shoes so expensive?  Seriously?  And the ones I like are well... not cheap.  Anywho so I found ones I REALLY liked and they were on sale and the last pair was in Griffin's size!  Ordered.  Along with some boots (para mi.)  I've been stalking their delivery.  Today is the day that the post person loudly knocked on my door even though it says BABY SLEEPING and when people knock loudly it makes our dogs to apeshiz crazy.  Oh, I believe I got side tracked.

Anyway, open the box all excitedly.  Wow, that box for his shoes sure is big.  That's weird.  So I open them.  Realize I'm dumb.  And......... they fit me.  Damn you children's shoe sizing--especially in european sizes.

One of these days I'm going to get this mom thing down.  Maybe?  Someday?  Right?  Until that day I'm going to have a mini glass of wine at 1:45 on a Wednesday.

Umm Shaina, are you telling me little E is of the model variety and probably on go see's with Tyra on the daily? I die.

I do like those shoes. And your baby is hand-some! Tell tyra to call me.

Go see's, not so much. Entered my boy in a contest on their facebook page, he was chosen and got 3 FREE pairs of shoes in exchange. This cheap mama was happy bout that!

They are cute. And very fancy and italian and usually almost ninety dollars... but in *ahem... toddler version and on super sale they were only in the twenties. Something on me needs to be in it's 20's :)

That is hilarious! And, save the money on shoes for yourself anyway! Find ye a consignment shop for boys shoes for at least another 6-12 months and you'll walk away with shoes that are in decent shape for $6!

In New Braunfels, I may be a bit spoiled. There are 4 consignment stores within 10 minutes of my house. I consign the crapsters out of my kids stuff and then actually, I don't pay the $6 for the shoes, I use the credit from the stuff I've sold to "buy" the new stuff.

I am sooo cheap. The secret is out!

I am laughing right now...didn't type 'lol' so I didn't sound like a douche.
Shoes are adorable...in your size and Grif's.
I totally stalk my purchases on the www and I remember wanted to murder people who knocked on my door when my babies were sleeping.
Us, we're a crazy bunch of broads.
