Its true. Sometime this week my beautiful Wasatch mountains may be dusted with snow. (I love snow up there by the way, don't totally love it in the valley though). So I figured it was time to start shopping for Conni's winter coat and snow pants. When I picked Conni up from my mom's yesterday, I told her we were going shopping for snow clothes. She said, "And boots too Mom!?!?"
Conni loved her snow boots last year and wore them every chance she got - including into the spring and almost summer until I finally hid them from her. They were too small and starting to smell funny from her putting them on without socks. :)
We went to multiple stores but I just couldn't find something I like for a dollar amount I was willing to pay. (She's only going to wear it for one winter, I can't hardly justify $80 for a coat!) Every time we left, Conni would ask, "But what about my boots Mom!" I told her we have to find the right coat first and then we can buy some boots. She would sigh and tell me, "Ok. But don't forget my boots!"
Finally I had to tell her that I would see if I can get the UPS guy to bring her some boots. She begrugingly accepted that answer. I may have finally found a coat I like online, and now to shop for some matching boots. Dave told me though that Conni can't know we have them till the weather justifies wearing them. I figure, we might as well get our money's worth out of them right? :) I'll be sure to post pictures once we have the ensemble. Or maybe of just the boots - since that's all she cares about anyway!
Happy Fall!
