new shoes!

With Spain less than 2 weeks away I've been trying to figure out what we need. I figured the average temperature will be around 12 degrees. Which, quite frankly, for us will seem ridiculously cold. 
So when I realized I didn't bring shoes for Noah and Jude could barely fit in the ones I did bring, I asked Jamie to pick some up at the crazy market he was heading to. {My boys live in Crocs and flip flops/sandals. I love living in a country with only "dry season" and "rainy season". No need to buy clothes for 4 different seasons!}
When he brought home the shoes and the boys tried them on it was instant love.
 

Seriously.
Jude wouldn't even take his off for his nap.


And Noah kept asking when his quiet time would be so he could have it with his shoes on!


The beauty of living with less is that when something "new" {they are likely second-hand, coming from the market and all} is given, the gratitude and "specialness" is so much more!

  1. Awww, that's so special! I guess they'll turn 'peachy' coloured pretty fast...Curtis' shoes were stained from the earth! I can't believe you'll be in Spain soon. Just wonderful!

  3. Owino market, nice! That was the first market we went to in Kampala. Caught a guy trying to pick-pocket me, so I slapped him away. It was hilarious because he was walking towards me and trying to unzip my fanny pack as we crossed paths. ridiculous. :)
