Infamous shoes...

Summer time, Summer time, sum, sum, Summer time! Well, its not quite Summer time. But you wouldn't know that by looking at my kids playing in the back yard. But the reason I'm making this post is because of these shoes. My mom asked me to take these pictures, I'm assuming she's working on something creative. But the story is:

I bought these rain boots for Mason when he was two years old. From the time I purchased them, until just recently, he wore them everywhere. And I do mean every where. He didn't care what the temperature was outside, he wanted to wear them. We even had a family portrait made when Mallory was about 15 months old. Mason just had to wear those shoes. Back then, I was so stressed out, I didn't care if he wore his bathing suit. Looking back now, I'm glad he talked me into it that day. Now I have precious memories of Mason and the boots. Notice the crack in the middle of the shoe. They actually have cracks all over them.



As for Mallory's flip flops, she just picked these out. I needed her foot in the picture, and she just in general loves shoes. So I asked her to go pick out her favorite pair of shoes and this is what she came back wearing. However, I just love it. She chose a pair that matched Mason's shoes and a pair that shoes off her little baby feet. She's still got that baby fat around her toes.

They didn't quite get what the pictures were for, and neither do I really. But I'm sure its something wonderful!
