Shoe Fairy

If only there were a shoe fairy (of course I don't believe in fairies at all, but you get the point).  One of the biggest expenses for us as parents are shoes.  Kids feet just grow way too fast!  And I love it when one day the shoe fits (or should I say before Christmas break) and the next day they don't.  Is it bad that I long for the days when their feet don't grow???

As of this moment, my E. has one pair of shoes for school.  Now normally this wouldn't be a bad thing, except they are the fancy, expensive kind (a gift from grandparents) that really shouldn't be worn everyday.  So I went through and cleaned out all of the shoes.  I will be blessing friends with what they can use, selling the rest at a kid store and then looking for the cheapest pair we can find.

At least we are lucky enough for her to have one pair and will trust that God will provide another.  Thank you Lord for second hand kids stores, friends and of course grandparents who can keep shoes on our girls feet.
