Fashion vs. Function

I haven't had to buy much for the girls.  We have been blessed with many gifters and hand-me-downs. 

However, I did buy these incredible boots that I found on clearance at an outlet.  I just couldn't leave them.

They were so cute that I gasped when I saw them.
The girls look amazing in them. 

So what is the problem? 

They fall continually while wearing them and if I put them in the standing position, they don't try to walk.

I guess babies don't get the whole fashion world.  "It doesn't matter what they feel like, it's how they look!" :)

Actually, I am completely okay if they never get that.

One last incredible deal:
If we didn't have The Littles, this is something I think we would have made work. I hope one of you spontaneous people can!

Ethiopian Airlines is offering an insane deal for the month of February.  If you buy a ticket before Christmas to travel in February, the price is $777 but you get another ticket free!  I know, crazy!  That is like flying to Africa for a little over $400 (including taxes).  A normal average ticket to Ethiopia is $1500. 

This isn't just for Ethiopia, it is to multiple locations in Africa (Including an airport that is about 10 minutes away from where The Littles birthfather lives).  Sigh. Someday. :)

Love the boots !! You know what I realized about little kids boots? In proportion to their body, legs, torso, ---and where the boots come on their legs---I'd certainly have trouble walking too. LOL
