Hey Daddy - We Got New Boots!
Sometimes, as a parent, there are those golden moments where I think, "man, this is my moment to SHINE!" Today was one of those days. The boys are in need of some new shoes, so we went on the hunt for some. Currently, Asher is wearing a size 8 tennis shoes and Ezra is in a 9. After the lady at JC Penney's measured their feet, she informed me that Ezra would need a 10 1/2 - 11 and Asher would need a 9 1/2 - 10. Wow... I missed a size and a half. Well, really, a size and a half or two. That's parenting at its best! How in the world does that happen? Maybe I should look into the ancient practice of foot-binding, because apparently that's the approach I'm taking with my kids. Whoops.
Vince is out of town for a few days, so Grandma came up to visit and help out with the boys. Today Grandma bought the boys new Lightening McQueen rain boots - so as to break the curse of the bound feet of her grandsons. Asher walked around for several minutes saying that he needed to show daddy his new boots. Ezra asked if we could send daddy a picture of their new boots... great idea Ezra!
Here is attempt one at getting the boys to pose for a picture. Ezra is smiling a goofy smile. Asher is talking.
Attempt 2. Grandma thought the boys could pose with their boots up on the garbage truck to display their new kickers. This move, however, requires balance... which neither boy (especially one) has.
Attempt 3: The boys fall on the ground while trying to balance a foot on the garbage truck.
At this point, Ezra and Asher decided what daddy really needed was a close-up of the new boots. This seemed like a positive idea since it required no posed smiles, no balancing, and no standing still. Really, a win, win... win.
So here you go daddy... your up-close and personal view of the new McQueen boots.

Kirsten, don't feel badly. For the past month of so, Ingrid has been telling me that her feet hurt. I kept saying, "wear socks with your tennis shoes." Well, I finally decided it was time to think about shoes for her. She'd gone from a 10 to an 11 1/2. Yep. My daughter wears an 11 1/2. No wonder her feet hurt. Maybe I should listen to her cries for help. I decided to measure Ilsa's too. She's gone from a 7 to an 8.
So she got her first pair of "blinkie" shoes -- and they're PINK - 3 SHADES OF IT!. Woo hoo! And we scooted the shoes down the line from Ingrid to Ilsa that were up on the "hold for Ilsa" shelf. Problem is, Ilsa's feet are wide, and Ingrid's are narrow, so we're finding it's not working so well.
fantastic! i can't wait to see them on your feets's.
i will be home in a few days and look forward to seeing you soon!
Sweet boots, Boys! And with all the rain we got today, I see some awesome puddle-stompin' in your future. ;)
