Miley LOVES Shoes

When Miley was only maybe 7 or 8 months old, I put her first pair of black patten church shoes on her, and her face lite up like you couldn't believe. She was so excited about them, she didn't want to take them off. Now that she is almost two, her shoe fettish is only growing. I do give into it a little, because little girl shoes are so cute. Chad asked me the other day why she has 15 pair of shoes, but as you can tell by the picture, 15 is way off. These are all the pairs of shoes that do fit her right now and she takes turns wearing all of them!

This morning as I was going through the sunday adds, she sat up on my lap and said, "show me the shoes." I didn't know she even knew there were pictures of shoes in the adds. This is a picture of her when I got her box of shoes down and she went through almost all of them trying them on.

Back to school, and Fall is Coming!!

As much as I love my kids, I was so excited for school to start, and so were they. I'm sure they think their teachers are much nicer than I am. Mckenna and Caden have great teachers and are doing great. Coleman goes to the same preschool as last year and seems to be doing better all the time. Now I have a little more time to spend with Miley, and she already loves to go shopping and of course loves target to go up and down the "baby isles" as she calls it.
Caden is now taking a break from Karate' and is going to start basketball in a couple of weeks. Mckenna took a break from singing lessons and is just doing ballet and jazz. I am going to start this little mom and tot class with Miley and Coleman will be able to go to it too. Coleman has in -home therapy once a week and therapy play group twice a week plus preschool 4 days a week, so he is pretty busy. No wonder people look at me and think I'm crazy to have 4 kids, there are too many things to pay for and keep up with , and I only let my kids do one thing at a time right now.
The kids are already deciding what they want to be for Halloween. The thought of going out and buying new costumes for all of them, just seems a little much. Coleman actully seems to care about being something this year, so we can't get away with getting out an old ripped up dress up and see if he'll wear it. So Chad told Mckenna he would pay her $10 if she would wear her recital costume which was a cowgirl. She doesn't really want to wear it, but likes the idea of getting money then asked if she could be a cowgirl Zombie and we could put scary make-up on her and make her look like she rose from the dead.
Then Chad told Caden he would pay him 10 dollars to wear his Karate' outfit- (so he is thinking about it.) Chad will do about anything to save money! We may have to buy Coleman something, since we really don't have anything that fits him. Miley of course already got her Tinkerbell cosutme for $20 since that is all she talked about and she is the baby in the family!!
