Don't Take Fashion Tips From This Kid




I was sent off this morning with Sneedlet One in tow to find a pair of pirate boots. A quick check of our local phone book didn't yield any pirate shoe stores, so I was left to fend for myself. I'm not even sure what type of boots pirates wore.

Sneedlet Two will be four tomorrow and he has a thing for Captain Jack Sparrow. The Lovely Mrs. Sneed bought Sneedlet Two a pirate costume for his birthday. It is very cute except that it has no boots, just shoe covers that sort of look like boots. Not good enough.





We went to a local cowboy outfitter and they had a pair of plain black boots. Close enough for me. Hopefully, they will be satisfactory.




Of course, you can't drag one Sneedlet to the store to buy boots for another Sneedlet without buying him some too. Especially when he grabs a pair and shouts, "Mine have red on them". Doubly especially when he grabs his very size. The little goof ball hasn't taken them off since we bought them.

I'm reminded of the time Sneedlet One's mother, Daughter Sneed got a shiny new pair of red shoes. she was so proud of them that she climbed into the bathtub wearing nothing but the shoes. She was in before Mrs. Sneed noticed that she still had them on.

In other news, I got a call yesterday from the County Extension Service about my application for the Master Gardner training. I have an interview with on August 22. Hopefully, I will charm them into accepting me.

I see that, like me, you keep thorough records. Now you'll always remember that you paid $35.87 for those boots at 2:29 PM on August 11, 2007.

Looks like Sneedlet takes his fashion tips from Jenny Ha Ha--is that one of her baseball caps?

long white socks with denim shorts--that's her signature look.
