It started when Maisie got new shoes for the Father Daughter Dance. Molly desperately wanted a pair for herself, but new shoes for Molly weren't a priority at the time, nor where they in the budget that day. There were tears and I was ready to cave while sitting in the Shopko shoe department, but upon trying on her size it was clear they were not comfy and she was forced to walk away. It was a tough day, but one that made her stronger.
Fast forward to Monday of this week. A pair of cheetah print shoes with black bows were posted on the Winterset Online Garage Sale site.
They were Molly's size.
They were $5.
I asked Molly what she thought of the posted photo and she was instantly obsessed with the shoes. I made arrangements to have the shoes dropped off Monday at 6 p.m. It made for a long, long day for Molly.
6:00 came and went with no shoes. It was snowing and turned out the lady forgot to stop by with the shoes. At 7:00 I headed out in the snow on a mission in the mini-van to bring those shoes home.
Molly had the shoes in her possession by 7:20 Monday night. She hasn't taken them off since.
