Shoe shopping

Have I ever told you how much I HATE to shop?!?!?!

Ok so I had to take the girls shopping for shoes tonight for something to wear to my mom's wedding tomorrow. I know nothing like waiting until the last minute to get shoes. So we finally get to Kohls around 9pm today and we go looking for shoes for the younger one. They had to be white since her dress is white with blue butterflies. She starting say which ones she liked and I had to keep saying no, no no... Finally I sit her down and start handing her shoes and after the thrid pair we find one, ok so now for the older one.. Nothing fits in the kid section so we go to junior/women and everything is high heels. Come on can't we just find one pair of nice looking brown shoes that aren't going to make my 9 yr old, size 6 foot, look like she's 16!!! We tried on around a dozen shoes before we could find one that I would say yes to and that fit her foot and would work with the dress. So will she's trying on shoes I decide to look at the clearance rack. Nothing there in my size, but wait there's a pair of size 6 hiking boots and right next to them is a size 1 for the younger girl, ok at $8 each we'll try them. So now we have boots and shoes for the and we still need to go back to the kids department for tennis shoes for the younger one since she's out grown all the ones we have at the house. An hour later I'm at the end of my rope. We've tried on every single size 1 tennis shoe they have in the girls department and nothing fits. I'm ready to give up, the girls are tired and we all want to go home. So we decide to forget the tennis shoes and start to gather all our stuff so we can go... Then I look over, there's a pair we haven't tried, and their the right size, ok so one more try... And the FIT!! YA!!!

An hour and a half from the time we walk out of Kohls with 5 pairs of shoes for the girls (aren't you suprised I didn't get any for me!!) and the total cost for all these shoes you ask... $70!! I can't believe I lucked out with this. I am sooooooooo happy to get shoes for so little, especially since my one pair of my shoes on sale are around $70!! We even had enough left over to get milk shakes on the way home. I'm just going to have to remember to NEVER try and shop for shoes with the younger one again. At least for a while, it's way too stressful!!!
