Shoe shopping!

I've been saying for weeks I was taking the kids to the nearby shoe shop to have their feet measured and buy them each a good pair of shoes. This morning as I dressed them for the creche I realized that Adele's shoes were too small. So this afternoon when the kids partied in their room instead of napping, I took them out, packed them in the car, and headed to the shoe store. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

The boys, checking out the store as I paid. Each kid had 2-3 shoe options and I let them pick their own pair. Funny enough, they all three chose the red pair!

We stopped at Zest, the cafe next door, for a quick snack. the kids were so well behaved and did a great job staying in their chairs. Gordon loved the lemon poppy seed loaf, Adele loved the chocolate cookie, and Walt loved the sweet bread roll (not pictured)

  1. Little feet need well fitting shoes. Not only because it's more comfortable (I mean how good a mood are we in if our feet hurt?) but because soft growing bones can easily be messed up by bad shoes.

    So glad the whole thing turned out well. Yay!

  2. Jeff's the one who talked me into going to get them sized and buy slightly nicer shoes. His mom did the same for him & his sister growing up and he said it was one thing he was willing to make sure we had the budget to buy.
