Keeping things intact. Or not.

As mom's we naturally work our hiney's off at keeping things together, in place or preserved in their natural state.  It's just what we do as woman/mother's. We are keeper's restorer's, organizer's and again I say preservationist's. Oh and also beautifier's. We like to make thing's beautiful. Ok.. you get what I' am trying to say

That is why when I purchase one of my children  a new pair of skate shoes I take pictures of them. It's my way of holding onto their original beauty, design and form for just a bit longer.

For after today''s light has faded away forever they will never again look like this.

 

Or this.

Just look at these gorgeous new kicks. They are so lovely, crisp and fresh looking. And cost plenty much also.

But seriously after twenty minutes at the skate park they will look as if they have gone through a blender.

And I will cringe like someone watching the worst horror movie you can ever remember seeing in your life time. 

I am not even slightly kidding here folks.

That is all for now.

Over and out.

Even though, as I've said before, I don't skate any more, skate shoes are still part of my pretty much daily wardrobe. I have...5 or 6 pairs that I alternate. They are comfortable works of art, and sometimes you are hte only one around with that style of shoe. Good choice Morgan, those are some good lookin' kicks.
