The big kids were happy today because they all stayed in green at church. This is usually the case but once in awhile one of them might enter the dreaded yellow zone as a warning. Those days usually bring tears and fear of facing daddy. They have thankfully never been in the red. At red you have to go sit with your parents and miss the rest of church club.
I noticed while getting Jadzia ready for church today that her shoes were getting next to impossible to get on. I knew it was time to get new shoes. Her feet have been growing rapidly over the last year. This time last year she was around a size six and now she's up to a nine. The boys' shoes were still fitting great and I figured we'd take them shoe shopping in a month or so.
We made it to the shoe store at the mall with the intent to buy her her favorite kind of shoe, Twinkle toes. The store at the mall has good discounts on them. We ran into the problem that they had every other size but the one she needed. The lady checked to see if they had them at another store. She found out for some reason their stores don't carry size 9.
We made our way over to Payless and they were having Bogo! Jadzia fell in love with a pair of shoes that are identical to a pair she had about a year back. They are disney princess pink sparkle shoes. With the Bogo going on I got her another pair of butterfly sneakers for only $3. While she was waiting for the shoes to be bought she stood in front of the glass window waving at everyone who passed by. She has the princess wave down. She was excited when I let her wear her princess shoes out of the store.
Isaac spent a good portion of his day attempting to get complete strangers to let him take their photo. All the pictures had to be outside and it was 20 degrees out. He shivered his way through about two and half hours at one of the local malls. He had a hard time getting people to agree. Now he's just hoping they turned out. He was required to use his film camera and this was the first time he ever used it. Since there is no play back screen he has no idea if they ended up being ok. He'll find out tomorrow when he himself develops them.
See the paper Xander is sticking into the camera that is his paper sword. The child has four totes full of toys and he was occupied today completely by a pretend sword he made out of typing paper and scotch tape. The boy's resourcefulness is amazing.
