If you are referring to the standard white "church shoe" I agree, but Ava wears a dang cute pair of white "fancy" flip flops to church currently and I don't think there are many things that can beat her chubby little feet in white flip flops in the cutest department.Josh, Lindsie, and Avahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12972138484633065576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671545678784465427.post-40194166949440403022008-08-18T13:13:00.000-06:002008-08-18T13:13:00.000-06:00I'm tired of blurking, so I'll comment.

I say no and he looks at me with those sad eyes and Jason tells me not to be dumb..."Who cares what he has on his shoes if he likes them?" So I lost that battle. My thing is boys shorts. I don't want to see short shorts on little boys or big boys for that matter. I don't want to see any boy thigh!

You don't know how easy you have it. Throw boys in the mix and try finding matching outfits! Talk about Mission Impossible!<BR/><BR/>Cartoon characters are strictly forbidden in my house on all clothes and shoes. No exceptions! Not even on panties. I'm so mean about it.<BR/><BR/>We do white shoes in summer. I'm not a big fan of black shoes with pastels so I try to find mary janes in pale colors. Thanks goodness for ebay.
