What?

Oh my goodness. What a day! My baby girl needed winter boots. She wears the same size shoe that I do now, but I am not sharing my winter boots. She needs her own. However, nothing fancy because she will outgrow them in 1.5 months. So, the family loads up and stops by Payless Shoes. We get there and the parking lot is pretty empty, and the store looks empty. But the door is unlocked so we go in. We are browsing, looking for snow boots-no luck. The clerk is nowhere in sight, which is really wierd. I think, "Hmm the clerks better get their butts up here or they are gonna get robbed". Someone walks in as we are leaving. So we leave and walk down the street to KMart. No boots there either. So then we go back down to Payless. It is surrounded by police, and our car is also surrounded. The police ask us what we did in the store. Apparently, the store was robbed. The clerks ran to the back and locked themselves in and the robbers left. Then... low and behold here comes the dang Mitchell family. Just puttering around. Meanwhile, the poor clerks are huddled in the back and the police are headed to the scene. I am just glad we were not there when the police all got there. George would have been face down in the concrete for sure, and I would have been hysterical. As it was, we were asked some questions and of course they had to see George's ID. I don't think we are suspects, but we are pretty freaked out. Those poor clerks. Anna did get her boots, we had italian for dinner, and then went to a movie together. What a Saturday!
