how to trick your girly girl to wear her brother's old nikes

 when we were buying noah's tennis shoes for kindergarten
i purposely bought neutral shoes 
so they could be passed down to his sisters
i figured if we were spending $30 on kid shoes
we should get some use out of them
noah wore them all last year
and they're still in pretty good shape
but they aren't quite girly enough for hazel's taste
so i bought a pink sharpie to color in the nike signs
 but it didn't cover well enough
so i also tried some fabric paint
which also didn't cover as well as i was hoping
 so i figured i'd give it one last try
and hope i hadn't ruined these shoes
and i used nail polish on top
nail polish did the trick
they look more filled in and silky now
and hazel is excited about them

Um, LOVE! We have the problem that we alternate genders, so I can't make over anything or it can't be re-handed down, but you've got it made with all those girls! :)
