I love being a mom. And I also love that almost daily I am given an opportunity to be a HERO. Today was no different. We woke up early and headed out for a family fun weekend. After hours of travel we pulled into the Birmingham Zoo. But wait, my No.1 son has a look of extreme panic on his face. He had just realized that he jumped in the truck this morning without his SHOES! Oh NO!! So here is my chance to be his hero OR a stark raving screaming lunatic... luckily I took a big breath and started laughing. WHO jumps into a truck for a trip out of town barefoot?! Christian, thats who! So with lots of laughter, and some intense teasing on Christian, we threw it in reverse and went looking for a shoe store. We found a cute shop in downtown and Christian and I hopped out to snag some treads. We found some great crocs for him, and on sale to boot, yeehaw.
Here is a much relieved Christian sporting his new crocs. Do you see the absolute love in those gorgeous blue eyes for his hero of a mom? Or is it just a look of surprise that mom didn't flip over the 'oops, no shoes' episode? I choose to believe the HERO senario!
UMM, err, uhhhh... did I mention that even heroes need new shoes once in a while. Lo and behold, in the shoe store, they were also having a sale on RocketDog flipflops. I got TWO pair of adorable floppers for $15.00! Wow! Being a hero sure feels great, giggle!
