New Slippers

It's such an exciting thing to blog, they boys got new slippers today. You would also think that with all the shoes in this house there would have been a pair of slippers that fitted each of the boys but nope, not a pair to fit either of them. Lion formed and attachment to my new uggs but slippers for kids were on special at a different store so I had big plans to go and get some each but that just didnt happen. Thankfully, they were on special again for this week, we didnt wait. Off we went today to K-mart for their 20% off footwear sale. I was a little worried when all the slippers I could see were pink and fluffy. I remembered why, once they grew out of their slippers half way through winter last year, they got socks with non skid bits on the bottom - Wolf wouldnt let me get them the only slippers left in town because they were pink. Thankfully there was still a small selection of boys slippers left. I quickly found the sensible, adjustable strap ones (they both have FAT feet) that happened to be a reliable brand and the cheapest there. Somehow I managed to convince Lion that they were REALLY GREAT and even though I dont think he knows what expensive means, he took it to be a bad thing, so when Mummy was saying that the character ones (Thomas, Wiggles, Bob...) were expensive and these ones were better he agreed with me. So without further delay, here are the McTavish boys in their new slippers!

I know you cant really see the slippers but it's a cute photo isnt it???

Uggs

Yesterday I bought a new pair of slippers. Actually they are more Ugg boot style. The last pair I bought was in high school. They only really covered my toes and with great big bug heads with bobbly feelers on them I usually get them taken off my by small children so end up with cold feet! So I figure it's not a frivilous spend. I wanted something nice and boring so in the middle of winter, if I want, I can drop Wolf at work or Lion at kindy and not take them off. I had to decide between a few but in the end I picked a pair that came in a nice dark colour and nice and high to keep my ankles warm in our 20 C winters here in the tropics:)

I thought my boring boots would be safe from little feet running off with them. Alas, safe from feet maybe but Lion aparently needed his hands to be kept warm and cozy when it got down to 25C last night. I was blogging when he got out of bed, came out to the computer and took off with my boots. I called out to him that he could have them but GET BACK INTO BED and thought he had. About an hour later when I looked in I found him asleep on the floor of his room wearing my new boots ON HIS HANDS.
