Today we got a call from Ryan and Jonathan's school teacher. Turns out Jonathan was out playing at recess when he stepped in a rather large mud puddle. The puddle valiantly tried to become the new owner of the Jonathan's shoes - but thanks to the Janitor, Jonathan got a very mud-filled shoe back.Because the shoes were far too muddy for Jonathan to be wearing around school, I got the call to come assist in the situation.
Jonathan was pretty cute standing there in bare feet. Heaven forbid he should leave his work undone. I waited for him to finish his assigment, then we packed up and headed out.
And off to Payless Shoes we went. It actually worked out pretty well. We were planning on getting the boys new shoes soon anyway, and they had been asking for new shoes for a while (Sarah got new shoes a couple weeks ago, and you know the chain of events that can set in motion...)So all-in-all, a funny day with a happy ending. The kids certainly keep us laughing and remind us to enjoy the simple things.

What is it with kids and mud puddles? Every time the kids walk home someone happens to always push them in the mud puddles...go figure. What a fun time to get new shoes!!!! I love getting new shoes.
