After almost 3 months of summer, I witnessed something I had yet to see since the kids have been all home together. This morning I decided I was going to take the kids into Marshall to get new school shoes. So as I'm getting ready, they all come in whining and asking to play over at the neighbor's house (which is where they try to be most of the time anyway). Even though the weather is absolutely beautiful, they choose to want to be inside, so I have to keep kicking them out and reminding them to stay out of the poor neighbor's house. Give her a break!
So, back to the story...as they all come in, I tell them we're going to go shoe shopping. The girls immediately turn to each other and squeal, "Shoe shopping?!" and then go on to hug one another and jump around in each other's arms in spontaneous excitement of the news of getting new shoes. After all of these months, I guess those are the magic words to get the kids to show some love. It was an entertaining moment. I can only imagine what it will be like when they get older.
