Nordstrom anniversary Sale.
Today was the first day of Nordstrom's anniversary Sale. This is the first time I have lived around a Nordstrom since being in college. We went this morning bright and early to get what Annie Kate has been saving her money for... Heely's . They were $20 cheaper for the sale. We all went to fight the mass crowds and parking garage to get to the sale early enough because I had this fear they may be sold out. So we get to the shoe department and no Heely's. Then I see this line of mom's in a line waiting to put their name on a list for Heely's. Nordstrom says that they won't get them until next week and they only have a limited amount so it is first come first serve. Annie Kate was so sad. She has been practicing outside with our next door neighbor Alex on his Heely's.
Well, as we are leaving Nordstrom I decided to look at a few things for Annie Kate for some school clothes. Well, an hour later we walked out with all of Annie Kate's school clothes. She even wore one of her outfits out. This was the first time in 7 1/2 years I let her actually have a say in what she gets to wear. Nothing was pink, nothing was smocked or had a bow on it. And surprisingly I was fine with it. It was a little grunge for my taste but it looked so Annie Kate! Jeff was thrilled especially when he saw her come out in her cute camo pants. He has always thought I dress her a little young. Don't think I am totally giving in to her or letting her get the Brittany Spears look, but I think we have come to a good middle. And I must say now I know why people stand in line to shop those sales, We got some good deals. I love Nordstrom.
