"Oh! Mom, look at this!"
"Mom, can I get this?"
{repeat-multiple times}
After many near mental break-downs
{on my part},
I finally figured it out.
Window shopping....
wait for it...
wait for it...
with Mama's cell phone camera!!
{that would explain the quality of the pix. sorry.}
On a whim, I gave it a try.
Once I took a picture of the girls with their most cherished items,
they put it back on the rack with little to no tears.
I could almost hear the theme song to Good Times!
{remember that show?}
Just for the record, I know this will more-than-likely not last,
but I'm ridin' this wave as far as it will take me. ;)
Honestly, what
I wanted to buy them everything they touched.
But alas, we must buy them food, shelter and...
dance recital gear!
The dance studio shows little compassion for the parents.
Do they not realize we have 5 costumes to
pay-in-full
right after Christmas
and right before both of these girl's birthdays begin
the end of January??
Oi.
I'm thinking we may just wrap the costumes for birthday presents.
{if the costumes are not here, a picture of the costume must do}
Kidding.
Maybe.

wow! 5 costumes! I like to give my kids things that I would have to get them anyway---like new ballet shoes for a birthday or snowpants, underware, bed spread. Is that cruel? I did Piano lessons for my daughter this fall.
