Operation Shoe Box

The girl scouts were collecting gifts to send for Operation Shoe Box.  This is a great program and the boys were excited about taking a shoe box for a child in another country.  They chose to do one for a girl and one for a boy.  They even sent a note with our address in hopes to get a pen pal out of it.  Who knows. 

As a reward for bringing a shoe box they could wear wacky shoes.  They are normally only allowed to wear black, navy, white or grey athletic shoes.  Today they could wear anything but heels and flip flops.  Fortunatly the heels were not an issue in our house.  Danny did not want to wear wacky shoes, he said it did not feel right.  I think that it is because his crocs are almost too small and really other than dress shoes that left his baseball kleats.  John Michael wore his cowboy boots and had a blast showing them off.
