Back-to-School Shoes

Two pairs of Nike's, two pairs of Sketchers and one pair of Keds at Rack Room Shoes, during their BOGO 1/2 off sale+ two $10 off coupons+no-sales tax weekend=$150 plus cost of lollipops and bottled water to bribe and distract. Then, six pairs of black church shoes (two pairs in the next sizes up) from Payless Shoe Source during their BOGO 1/2 off sale+20% off total purchase+no sales tax weekend=$45.

Parker picked out these fabulous fire flame with "light up's":

McKenna got the basic, standardly chosen leather Keds and loves wearing them around:

The girls got new running shoes. Madison likes that hers (on the bottom) resemble a rainbow:

Allison is a size 6. Madison is a 13-1/2. Parker is a 13. McKenna is a 7. (Yes, Allison is almost my size and yes, Parker is coming up on Madison.)

I'm waiting until tomorrow, or next week, to do the dance shoes and soccer cleats...

Jeremy earned his Bachelor's in Criminal Justice and Sarah earned hers in Child and Family Development. Jeremy spent a total of 13 years with the Army. Jeremy recently graduated with a Master's in International Affairs from American University. He speaks Spanish and Malay. He goes to work at his "dream job" which he's been with for almost 8 years. Sarah taught preschool after her degree and then became a "stay-at-home" mom (yeah, right!). She is the CEO, CFO, COO, CIO, etc. of everything related to the family. This is our ninth house (ID, MO, KY, TX, KY, CA, GA, VA, SG). We are now six: Jeremy, Sarah, Allison, Madison, Parker, and McKenna. We stay busy in Singapore! We like to soak up all the adventures of the places around us and deal with the ones we are given!

When I Die...

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Scheneck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know that I was really here and that I really lived."
