"You can tell a lot about a person by the shoes they wear"

Gracie's

• referred to as "my pint ballet shoes"
• found at our Stake "give and take" last fall (what a find! I wish I could thank the donors)
• worn by both girls daily all winter long (until Millie got new shoes--see below)
• the only shoes I have been able to get Gracie to wear to church, even through the winter (I worried what people would think, but when you have to get out the door, you don't want to mess with Grace!)
• worn out in the toes by Millie doing ballet dancing on her toes
• I wish I knew where I could buy another pair!

Millie's

• Are fairly new, but already well-worn
• Were found at Wal-mart for $7
• Were purchased because 1. she wore Gracie's (the ones above) everyday, even though they were too small; 2. I was tired of breaking up fights over who's turn it was for the pink princess shoes; 3. She has been asking for "princess shoes without a strap" for months
• Before she saw them, she asked with excitement, "Are they pink?" (whew, I got the right color!)
• Originally came with a strap, but I was willing to take the risk to cut them so we could have the "picture perfect" shoe
• The bows come undone many times a day, and so after re-tying them WAY too many times, I finally glued the bows with a hot glue gun today! Yeah!
