Tonight we went on a family outing shopping. The older boys both needed shoes and Zack needed a pair of pants that didn't have a hole in the knees. I probably should have went before Shon got off of work, but it was nice to have him with us. We went to the store and headed for the clearance rack, hoping to find some shoes the boys would like. I measured their feet and they had grown a whole size. So we looked. It is so funny how different they both are. Tyler was done after about five minutes, and could have cared less which shoes we picked out, just some that didn't tie. But Zack is much more opinionated. After trying on about 5 shoes, he found a pair he liked and he was done. He was very excited, just carried the box around with him until we were done. When we got to the counter, the lady rung us up and she charged us full price for Zack's shoes, which we thought were on sale. She went back and looked and said the blue ones were on sale, not the red ones that Zack had his heart set on. But we decided to give it a try with the blue ones. We got out to the truck and Zack realized we didn't have the right color and the tears just started flowing. But Shon is such a smooth talker that he changed Zack's mind and all was well.
Then we went to Kohles and found some pants and of course a few more things. When we got home, the first thing Zack wanted to do was try on his clothes. It is so fun to watch him get so excited over new clothes. It is like pulling teeth to get Tyler to do it. Anyway it was a good nighjt!!

Oh, what a great story! I love that about Zacky. He is always so excited about getting anything new, especially clothes. Both Whitney and I were wondering what Shon said to change his mind. I'm glad you had a good night.
Zack is starting young to care about what he wears! Knowing his strong will, I'm surprised that Shon talked him out of the red shoes. To change Zack's mind he may have had Devine help. Good story. I love my grandboys!
