School Shoes

August 25, 2016

New school year = new school shoes! I originally ordered Spencer a pair of Nike Air Max for an upcoming surprise trip (shhh!) because they have a thick sole and I thought they would give him an extra inch or two he needed to ride some rides…

They did! and he loves them! He feels pretty cool with his new “tie shoes”.

I liked them so much on Spencer that I ordered Maxwell some Nike Air Max of his own…

he really loves them!

I don’t like how they make him look like a teenager all of a sudden but…that’s life.

I also got them each a pair of blue Sauconys just like the red ones they’ve had the past few years.

Can’t go wrong with those.

Samantha’s a totally different story! Girls shoes are more fun – and more challenging! My sweet girl can’t just have two pair of tennis shoes and that’s it now, can she? Only problem is her chubby foot won’t fit in a lot of the shoes I tried on her! But, we ended up with some winners…

We kept the See Kai Run tennis shoes on her right foot…

the pink Livie and Luca mary janes on her right foot…

and then found these Cientas that are great (even if they do come with a fruity scent that I could do without! yes, the shoes smell fruity!)

Everyone’s feet are ready for school! Spencer and Samantha start Monday – off to new adventures!

PJs and Pancakes

August 22, 2016

The kids were invited to the cutest Pancakes and PJs Party to celebrate Anne and Vivian’s second birthday on Saturday! They all seemed quite happy to get to leave the house in their pjs…

The cute birthday girls (who are just friends even though they look like sisters!) with their big stack of pancakes!

The party was just as neat as it could be…

with cute things for the kids to do like make a Froot Loop necklace…

baby didn’t really make one…but she did find other people’s necklaces to eat!  🙂

Everyone enjoyed the pancakes and doughnut holes…

and they especially loved getting to try lots of sugary cereals they had never had before!

It was a fun group of kids…

(Samantha clearly thought it would be better to stand in front of everyone and pick her nose for the picture rather than sit with the other kids.)

and a good time was had by all!

Happy birthday Anne and Vivie!

Morning walk

August 19, 2016

I can already tell one of my favorite parts of the day will be walking Maxwell to school in the morning – well, until he tells me he’s old enough to do it himself and only lets me take him to the corner! 🙂 But, for now, he lets us walk him all the way in and I love it.

On Monday Robert got to do the honors…

On Tuesday Robert was out of town so Spencer, Samantha, and I all got to walk him over together…

On Wednesday Robert was back but Spence still wanted to go with us…

school morning

He didn’t stay because he’s obviously “too cool for school”! ha!

And, no, it’s not cool enough for pants here but they don’t seem to care!

Baby was waiting for us when we came back…

and likes to wave to all the people dropping off their kids!

I had to miss the morning drop off on Thursday because I was in Nashville! woohoo! I drove over for the night to see the Dixie Chicks with Lyndsay…

A great concert and a super fun quick trip. Happy to be back home for the morning school walk today though! Happy Friday!
