It's The Shoes

It's bad enough having to buy shoes when your children outgrow their current pair. It's another thing to have to buy new shoes because they're the wrong color.

That's what happened this school year after the administrators decided that only shoes that are predominantly white would allow to be worn. That meant new shoes for nearly everyone - which became everyone so no one would go to school this year with a worn-looking pair.

Unfortunately, what we did not know was that shoes with blinking lights were not allowed. So Olivia ended up getting two new pairs of sneakers. Special thanks to Aunt Bridget for going out to get them on short notice!

The girls did enjoy another half-day of school Friday. Barring some kind of heat wave (if the forecast high is 90 or above, they get early dismissal), Monday will be their first full day.
