Connor has now outgrown pretty much all his pants. He is getting so big! The poor thing would try to get himself dressed. He would grab a pair of pants... come to me or Peter with such a sad face and say "these are too tight too"! So we decided its probably a good time to go get him some new jeans and spring pants and while we were at it... some "real" sneakers! Anything OTHER than the Spiderman sneakers! He has been wearing these pretty much the entire winter! Don't get me wrong, EVERYONE knows of my love affair with Target, and these sneakers actually worked out GREAT! They were really cheap, price wise, and he didn't where sneakers a lot during the winter... Boot Season. But with Winter coming to an end (we HOPE) it was time to get into some good old fashion sneakers. Something that can hold up to punishment given out by our active little 5 yr. old! For all of you who may be worried that the Spiderman "kicks" are going into retirement, have no fear! They are merely being put into a less prominent role... they are now the "Official Dirt Sneakers" of the Nelson household! Actually, with Spring coming, they may even see more action!
So off to Stride Rite with the gift card from Grandma & Pop-Pop... Thanks Grandma & Pop-Pop!
Connor picked out his own pair of sneakers... and was so excited that he wanted to wear them home!
Then we were off to get some new jeans, sweats, and spring pants! Hello Children's Place... even though I don't feel I should be endorsing this place for some... um personal reasons! So NO PICTURES of our adventures there! Love you Kerri!
But since the boys were so good and patient through this shopping experience they were able to ride some of the "rides"...
For those of who know me, I'm sure you are shocked that I let them ride these electronic petri dishes... I am quite shocked myself! For those of you who don't know me... let's just say I have what some would call an "extreme" dislike of germs... and any of it's potential carriers. When Connor was little he would want to go on these... I would always say "oh sorry sweety, its broken". HELLO... GERMS! No way my kids were going on them... Purell or no Purell!
