I wrote, last year, about the Easter Egg Hunt <\/a>that Lilian and I went to. But I don’t think I ever mentioned that we found out the next week that we won the big Easter basket\u00a0that they raffled off. It was full of prizes from local merchants.<\/p>\n

Oh hey, guys! I totally won a kick-ass Easter basket!<\/p>\n

The best part of the basket was a very nice gift card to Lively Kids, the boutique that sponsored the egg hunt. And by “nice,” I mean a hundred freaking dollars (!). Kristian and I tried to use it to buy Lilian’s birthday present, but they sell more clothes than toys and we didn’t find any big ticket item that we thought would work.<\/p>\n

This is is my roundabout way of saying that yesterday Lilian and I found ourselves back in the store with a very nice gift certificate that was about to expire.<\/p>\n

This is is also my roundabout way of saying that I spent a lot of someone else’s money on a pair of itty, bitty Doc Martens.<\/p>\n

\"Baby<\/a><\/p>\n

We sized strategically, so hopefully these will last a few months. Even if they don’t? They were free. I’ll make some one verrrrry happy with a kickass hand-me-down. Or I’ll sell them on eBay. But I am kinda digging them. They remind me of something I would have worn in the mid-90s.<\/p>\n

OK, this is the part where I admit that they remind me of the Docs\u00a0that I totally pined for after watching the Babysitters Club Movie. But that involves me admitting that I watched the Babysitters Club Movie. So let’s just say that Lilian is a big fan of her new shoes and leave it at that.<\/p>\n
