Ya'll....she has a problem

My sweet little 4 year old daughter has a problem, wouldn't you agree?

This is a picture of the pile of shoes she had by the front door.

See, I have this basket by the front door for the kids to put their shoes in when they come in for the night. Mr. Man and I rarely keep our shoes in there, but once in a while we will put ours in there too. The dog has a tendency to chew shoes if they are left in the middle of the floor, but if they are in the basket she leaves them alone (go figure!). About once every 2 or 3 weeks I clean out the basket and have everyone take their pile to their bedroom closet.

When I did the clean-out this time, I had one pair of flip flops in the basket. Mr. Man had no shoes in the basket. Spirit had 2 pairs. Lefty had 2 pairs and Lady Bug had 11 pairs. THAT is a problem!

There are 11 pairs of shoes in her pile (pictured above). She had such a big pile I had to help her carry it to her closet. What is worse is that she also had plenty of shoes still in the closet! Why does a 4 year old need so many shoes? I don't know, but she wears each and every pair of shoes she owns so evidently it is a necessity! (she takes after her aunts! *wink wink*)

Girls and their shoes... (I've never been like that... but replace the word "shoes" with handbags...)

Sarah is the same way!! Usually it's worse in the summer because flip-flops and sandals are so much cheaper than other types of shoes I don't mind buying them for her!

I have a shoe problem, too! I buy the cute ones for my boys-and too many of them...:)

That's so funny! I don't even have 11 pairs of shoes to put in a basket!
