new shoes

Rose was down to just one pair of shoes (actually sandals) that still fit, so we'd been watching for back-to-school sales to start so we can buy a new pair of "school shoes" (i.e., high quality, multi-purpose sneakers that will hopefully last through the winter). Schuler just started their sale, so we went shoe shopping tonight.

Rose LOVES her new shoes, and was super excited to show off how fast she can run in them.We had so many races around the yard tonight!!

On a side note, I've been talking up the Olympics to her because I've been SOOOO excited to watch together. This morning I was explaining that they have competitions to see who is the fastest swimmer in the world, who is the best gymnast, who can jump the highest, etc., etc., etc.   Then she turned to me and said, "Mommy, I think you would win ALL of those."   Awwwwwww...  :) I'll have to file that one away for when she turns into a surly teenager ;)
