Slippers

After church we set out on a mission to the mall (a place I absolutely loathe going) to get the things we need for in our package to "A". There were three things I definitely wanted to include in our little package, and I was sure they would all be easily found at Target in one simple trip. We quickly picked up a photo book and a snugly, but thing three proved surprisingly hard to locate. Unbelievably hard, considering that it is winter. Thing three was some new slippers, to replace these:

Those are some sad looking little feet!

Would you believe that we went to Target, JC Penney, Sears, Kohls, and Old Navy and didn't find a single toddler sized slipper to replace these? Lots of the leather soft soled shoes, but no cozy slippers. Poor C, I had to ply him with a pretzel dog halfway through our marathon slipper hunt. In the end of November, this should have been a five-minute trip.

So I finally decided to suck it up, and pay way too much money for a pair from Baby Gap. At least my insanely overpriced slippers are seriously cute.

Yes, they ARE seriously cute!

I have been in same predicament many times before. Usually its with trying to find shorts in June, which seems to be about the time they are breaking out the Back to School sweaters. Following that line of thinking, I think slippers must be sold in August. As soon as holiday shopping is over, they'll be rolling out the swimsuits.

So excited about your referral!
