Fast feet

Here's a rhetorical question for you. Why do the feet of both of my children grow at the same time??? I swear, every time one child's shoes start pinching, the other child's shoes start pinching also. And it's real...it's not a jealousy thing or something, LOL. So, this week I had to do the routine. 4 pairs of shoes. Pink sneakers and strappy black sandels for dd9 (can't find a black winter shoe other than patent leather shoes that neither of us wanted, and she has to have black shoes for her choir concert in April, so I got her shoes that can work for now.) Cool light-up Thomas shoes for ds4, still have to get him dress shoes but he wore black sneakers to church today. These kids are making me poor, I'm quite sure of it!
