12.00 suckers, stinky shoes, and Gaby new step mom

Kendal... getting her poopy diaper changed and eating a 12.00 sucker...

It all began this afternoon... Gaby came home from camp and she was wearing her favorite pair of shoes. When she took them off, they about knocked me out. The smell that came from her shoes/feet was awful. I started looking at her closet and the last pair of shoes she had was 2 sizes too small. I called Dustin and told him, she needs new shoes ASAP. I can't let her wear these shoes again. She would be laughed at if they took their shoes off for any reason at camp. So, off to the mall we go... On a side note- Gaby is extremely hard on her shoes... she only has 1 pair of tennis shoes she wears, by her choice, but she wears them out.

So we went to the mall to find out, Gaby had grown 2 sizes in shoes and Kadyn 1 size. The first store we went into she was picking up 100.00 Air Jordan's. Um, no! Then she started settling on shoes because they were in her size. We finally talked her into going to another store. Two store later, she fell in love with these shoes... on sale... and in her size. For some reason, this kid was 100% against buying Nike shoes-this momma loves them- but Gaby does not. And the above shoes have now made it into the trash...

Since Kadyn is going to the same camp- we looked at shoes for her too. She was the easy one. She found her shoes at the first store and within 5 minutes. Again, she was a size larger this time too! Shesh!

So, because shoes were on the brain, Dustin comments, "I really need a new pair of shoes for work as well" *Sigh* So, because the kids did pretty well shoe shopping I agreed they could get a sucker at the candy store at the mall... Dustin looked at shoes for him and we picked out candy. $12.00 later we left the candy store... do you know how many suckers I could have bought at Walgreens for 12.00?? A lot more then 4, that is for sure.

Dustin has Kendal at his shoe store. The lady that is helping Dustin is a young, cute, friendly looking girl. Kendal decides that it is her time to poop. As she is pooping, he is trying on shoes. I come into the store with the rest of the girls and he picks out his shoes and we are leaving.

So before we leave, Kendal is getting changed and she is a sticky mess from her sucker (the first picture). Which leads me to Gaby's new step mom...

As we are driving home, Dustin says, "the shoe sales lady said how cute she was". (Talking about Kendal). Gaby pops up and says, "Well, if you want to marry her, you just have to divorce mom and go with her". Dustin speaks up, " She was talking about Kendal, not me". Gaby replies, "Oh- I thought you said she was cute".

Ahhh! So Dustin gives Gaby the entire, "I love you mom, we got married and marriage means a lot" speech. And, all I had to add to the conversation is "Gaby, she'd be your new step mom".

Dustin was much better at talking about this topic then I was...
Like I say, there is never a dull moment at our house.
