I love this time of year--back to school time. I have since I was a little kid. Probably because I am a super nerd and I couldn't wait to get all my new school supplies and outfit for the first day. Needless to say I was so excited to get to the Nordstrom Anniversary sale and buy new shoes and outfits for the girls. I don't shop at Nordstrom for kids clothes on a regular basis but the Anniversary sale is pretty fantastic and we scored some great deals for the girls. While we were paying Reese was checking out the earring stand and said that she wanted to get some earrings. I told her that she had to have her ears pierced to wear those types of earrings. She then said, "I want to get my ears pierced today". So that's how it happend. Just like that. On a whim, which is not how I envisioned this rite of passage for our little girls. She was insistent so we headed over to Claire's. Ryan was on board with it too, but after it was all over she shed some tears and asked me to take them out. Her tears lasted about 20 minutes and then she was fine. It was a fun day of shopping and accessorizing :)
Disclaimer: all these photos were shot on my phone and are not good but I had to post.
Heading up the escalator to get our ears pierced. Reese loves her sassy shoes.
Reese goes first. It was her idea so she has to lead the way.
Waiting so patiently.
Ryan is giving lots of support and encouraging her to hold the bear. Reese doesn't seem to need much help. I think Ryan is nervous for her sister.
Here we go!
That was easy. AND she got a sucker outta the deal. Score!
Ryan's turn.
She's all smiles now, but it goes downhill FAST.
Still smiling, happy to have the crusty black teddy bear.
I wish I would have gotten a photo of the after with the earrings in and the tears flowing but she was a train wreck and I was trying to pay and get outta there as quick as possible. Glad we have the few grainy photos I took. It was a fun, memorable day.
