Happy Feet

I'm not usually one to splurge on items that I think are obnoxiously over-priced, but I couldn't resist these back to school sneakers for Mikailey. C'mon, anybody, I dare you to try to tell me that these aren't the happiest shoes in town:-) Rainbow shoes, rainbow shoes, rainbow shoes!!! Who wouldn't have a great first day of school in rainbow shoes... in fact shouldn't these happy feet make the whole world better? I don't think Mikailey was as impressed with them as I am, although she likes them, but I want a pair of my OWN and they didn't have any in my size so I'm living vicariously through her. Don't you think they'd go perfectly with my rainbow ankle tattoo... should I tattoo Mikailey to match her shoes?

As an aside, I got hit on by a receptionist at the Dr.'s office yesterday. She assumed I was gay because of my ankle (actually her exact words were "I thought your rainbow tattoo had special significance"). I'm starting to think it's like false advertising or something. But hey, it's NICE to get hit on by anyone when I feel like such a lump these days.... but for my whole life I've always been hit on by more women than I've EVER gotten hit on by men. More proof that my gaydar is off I guess? Oh well, I'm allowed to love the rainbow (and it's special significance for my friends) too right?

Happy Campers

Mikailey settling in to her cabin on another campers bed- she was one of the first to arrive and got a "prime location" according to the counselor, which means she's next to two windows. She wanted the top of a bunkbed, but we heard those don't get good breezes, so we talked her in to the two window bed!

Yeah, we didn't send Noah off to camp, but he's always a happy camper on his car - I think he's going to be a truck driver or a professional car racer:-) Notice his unwieldy hair.... I love it!

Today we sent Ms. Mikailey off for her first overnight camping experience. She was very excited, especially since she got to go at age 7 whereas Jordan's first overnight camping experience was at 9, and she always likes to "beat" him:-) They've got some serious sibling rivalry going on lately. Anyway, of course I think I'm much more worried than her!!!!! Will she get homesick? Will she crack her head open like Jord did at camp? Will she be scared at night? Probably none of these things... but I'm a worry wart about my little girl and this is the longest I've ever been away from her! She'll probably just come home with some bug bites and a big grin! I hope she has a blast and remembers this as a great experience. I still remember going to camp as a kid and how much fun it was. I always notice that she seems like a pipsqueak compared to the other kids her age, which makes her seem younger than she is, and she always looks disheveled, lol. It's hard to imaine her in 4th grade next year! My baby girl is growing up,
