Mall Rats

So today I finally got a chance to go buy Nico some new shoes. Nico, Emily and I went to the Northridge Mall and I did find the shoes I was looking for in his size but was very disappointed that they had no arch support whatsoever!! Nico's feet are a little flat so he really needs that. I think that arch support is better than the ankle support (the shoes I was looking at were high tops). So I went to a few other shoe stores and was surprised to find that none of these name brand expensive toddler shoes have arch support?! So I went to Payless and they have this one brand called Smart Fit that was exactly what I was looking for and only $12 bucks. Nico loves his new shoes!! Emily wanted some shoes too so I got her a pair. Then she wanted to wear them and good thing I let her because after alking around in them for a little bit she got a blister soo I took them back. Emily was very upset, she wanted to make sure the cashier saw her blister so she lifted her little foot upto the counter and said "Look an OWIE".
I decided to let them play a little in that play area, there weren't that many kids so they had fun. When it was time to go though Emily didn't want to and I told her not to be selfish but to be thankful for the "little time" I had let her play there and then she said "I don't want to play a little time, I want to play BIG TIME!" It sounded soo funny!! She meant it as the opposite of "little time" but it sounded more like a line from Carlito's Way.
Then we had lunch, Emily ate a whole cheeseburger!! She's been eating very well lately. Nico had half a cheeseburger and lots of fries. Me too:)
Emily likes shoe stores and costume jewelery stores like Icing. She can spend hours trying shoes on and jewelery she loves that! I know she doesn't get that from me I own less that 10 pairs of shoes and jewelery is not my thing. Hmmmmm.....
We must of spent like 6 hours there. It was fun just hanging with my kids.
