Shameless Show Off

Well I would have taken the lazy way out and just have loaded these on facebook sans long blog BUT my page is 'temporarily unavailable" which I hate. So here I am.

It would seem I have the cutest daughter in the universe who is also, by the way, the biggest show off EVER. The other day I induldged in some shopping...only a little bit as that is all I can afford and only for Cate because, let's face it, shopping for her is so fun, fun, fun. I can also justify her purchases much better than buying yet another top for me that I will probably wear two or three times before growing out of it (hehehehe - more to come on that little issue on Monday!).

Anyways I bought Cate new runners with...wait for it...velcro. Oh, she could die and go to heaven! This kid LOVES velcro! Her little runners are pink (God damn it I am SO OVER pink) but they are also white and they are as cute as hell. Missy fancies herself in them like you wouldn't believe.

Second purchase was a coat from Target. Here was the dilema: two coats, one a stylish and gorgeous trench style in a deep pink, very trendy, the other a hot, hot, hot pink parka style with green lining and a fur trim. Now, my tastes ran towards the former, the stylish trench. Unfortunately though, the trench was not anywhere near padded enough, not warm and snuggly enough for our cold winters. So I was forced to purchase the well padded but garish fluro pink fur trimmed coat. Sigh. MORE pink.

I need not have worried however, as Cate fell in deep, passionate love with her new fluro pink coat. She ran delightedly from the kitchen to the bedroom to stare at herself in my mirror, over and over and again. She who hates hats loved the fur trimmed parka hood and screamed when I took it off. So...even though I hate it, I now kinda love it, purely because it has delighted my girl so much. Proof is in the pudding up top :)
