New shoelaces and old shoes


All of you who grew up back in the 80's have to remember those shoelaces that we all used to have. You know the ones, they came in every character, color and pattern that you could think of and you always got at least one pair from your friends on your birthday. It didn't matter how dirty, dingy, or old your shoes were you put them on anyway. It was like a brand new pair of shoes right?! Emily found these at Target a while back and she had to have them put on her dusty old shoes. Don't you love buying those crazy nostolgic things for your kids? She is so excited to show them off at school. She has told me several times how much better her shoes look than another girl who has the same pair. Oh the vanity!! Better yet, for all of you who are smiling and nodding your head at your own memories ...remember when we used to put them on our roller skates? Even when they where to short?? You know you did....ah good time, good times!
