Shoes Makeith the Woman
Shoes makeith the woman ......well the girl in this case. As my little, or not so little, girl heads quickly towards an age with double digits I am forced to think about how to help her fit in but to my modest set of rules. Of course with little girls that usually has something to do with how they look.
As McKenzie is tiny in size and that means she fits clothes of little girls two years younger than her. It has not been a problem until a move of school and trying to find new friends forced me to sit back and look at what was being asked of me. Luckily McKenzie is not label conscience and so I am able to fulfill what is needed without spending a small fortune.
So off to my favourite on line shop for little girls and with just a few dollars spent one well loved pair of shoes ready to be worn.

Of course I need to scrapbook this moment so here it is.

Life has it's little surprises.
As my loyal blog readers would know my DS1, Hayden, is disabled. Amoung many of the things that challenge his life, is his ability to socialise and make friends. This does not seem to be an issue to him and we don't necessarily add it to the long list of other things that already are significant challenges.
Anyway this little challenge means that he has no play dates or sleep overs or other invitations like other children. He does not know that this happens for others so not a problem. It was the biggest surprise then, when I get this phone call, out of the blue, from the parent of a child in Haydens special class inviting him to the birthday party of their son. Well you could have knocked me over with a feather. This is a first ever moment in Haydens after life that he has had such an invite. (The after life is opposed the life he had before he suffered his medical event). I am pleased that this mother thinks that Hayden is friendly with her son. Hayden was very excited to see he had got a letter in the post inviting him.
I guess that this will be a moment to remember.
Life is full of unexpected little surprises.
Here is a page I made. It might just explain how Hayden has no social skills.

Just now....
Just now...
Outside my window....it is a typical autumn day. A little grey, windy enough to to dry the washing and warm enough to know that it is not winter and yet not summer.
I am thankful for...each day and all the wonderful things that happen
I am wearing...a long skirt and t'shirt
I am remembering... how long DH has been away and how great it will be to see him tomorrow.
I am going...to make the last of the long list of phone calls that have been seeking my attention.
I am currently (still) reading... nothing. I am too tired at night to do so but cant wait for the holidays to arrive as I have two books to read and make up for the months between January and now when I have read very little.
I am hoping...that I am full of positivity this weekend.
On my mind... is how long it will take to sell our how so we can get on with things.
Noticing that... I need to take more care of myself.
Pondering these words...A smile is a curve that sets everything straight. ~Phyllis Diller
From the kitchen...I am glad that I make a weekly menu plan. It means that I dont need to think too hard in the evenings.
Around the house...I need to use the vaccuum cleaner that is sitting in the middle of the floor.
One of my favorite things... using my valuable free time wisely.
I'm creating...a special album for DH as a surprise.
A few plans for the rest of the week...to make a list of things to do during the holidays and plan some seriously fun times that dont necessarily cost too much money.
