The boys need back to school shoes and unfortunately they need them now and back to school shoe sales don't usually happen in June! Omega Sports (kind of like Dick's but local and WAY smaller) in Durham had a great BOGO sale-anything was buy one get one 50 percent off and some shoes were already marked down so I thought I better take advantage of it before it is over tomorrow. So we went to the store after baseball camp today.
A trip to get new shoes with three boys can be an interesting experience especially at a sporting goods store. When people say "like a kid in a candy store" this has to run a very close second in our household! They knew we had to get shoes but seemed to forget as we walked in.
The sales person helped us out and sized them since I really have no clue what size they wear now...They are the same size! Of course, Braedyn and Cooper picked out the ones that were out of their sizes. Braedyn continued to like ones that they didn't have his size. He finally found some he liked and had to get funky shoelaces to go with them. Of course, he couldn't get the same ones as Coop and that would have been to confusing in the mornings.
While of this was going on, I glanced over at Jordan, he had emptied out the whole 3 bins of soccer balls and decided he would play soccer through out the store and instead of dodging "players" he was dodging sales racks. The kid likes soccer. I think I should probably sign him up. I thought, oh well, what harm could that do. So we continued on with picking out shoes while he played soccer.
Finally, after what seemed like a half hour, I told Jordan to pick up the soccer balls and he did. The boys wanted to pick up some other things they had wanted for baseball. Then Jordan saw the ping pong table when we walked to the other side of the store and he figured out how to play that. So I let him play since the sales people didn't mind, (keep in mind this is a very small store-I don't just let my kids wander around stores) I heard "Bring it On", The store sales person told Jordan she would play with him and he was getting ready to serve and he said "Bring it On". The people working there busted out laughing. I just shook my head....
FUN TIMES!
I thought I am never going to get out of here under 100$. I am amazed to say I did and got two new pairs of shoes, 4 under armour wristbands, and 2 pairs of shoelaces.... I love sales!
