Shoes

I love shoes.

I don't have many of them, but I absolutely love them. They can make or break an outfit. They make up for my lack of... stature (yeah, I'm a shortie). They can tell so much about the wearer too!

Look around you at the shoes people wear. See if they match the person (if you know them), or try to image what the person is like who wears shoes you find interesting. It's a fun "people watching" exercise in observation.

What kind of woman would wear these shoes?

Ballerina soccer

Sometimes I just have to smile.

Last summer was the World Cup in South Africa, and of course I had to watch every game Brazil played until that horrible disaster against the Dutch. N. picked up a few phrases like "where's the goal?" and "ole, ole, ole, ole, Brazil, Brazil." We had fun.

But you see, she's a girly girl to her core and I never thought I'd be playing soccer with her. Then again, she's a toddler and soccer involves a whole lot of running.

So we've been "playing" in the house - really it's just running after the ball and tapping it with our feet. (I put an air mattress against the wall to minimize damage)

What you can't see in this first picture is that, true to herself, she plays soccer wearing ballet shoes. I can't help but smile.

What's made you smile lately? Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
