I remember growing up when jelly shoes were a staple for summer attire. They were the perfect shoes. You could run through the rain, jump in puddles of mud, play in the sand at the beach and yet the shoe remained indestructable. Just wash them off when you get home and get ready to wear them the next day. I found these shoes for Hallie at Gap on clearance and thought I could get some good use before the summer was over and boy was I right. They really are the perfect shoe! And the best part about it is it’s clear plastic, not pink, or red, but clear, it goes with absolutely everything. Just think, what if at our age we had a shoe that went with everything…it’s impossible! You have to wear brown with brown and black with black and tennis shoes with a t-shirt, sandals with capris. The list can go on and on, so I long for the simple life, when a clear jelly shoe from gap for 3.99 will complete my entire wardrobe!
totally agree with you. I miss jelly shoes and would probably wear some if I found them in my size! Sounds like you had a fun and eventful long weekend and that you are such a patient and fun mom. Have a great Tuesday!

Hey Kara, I was so excited to check your blog and see such great new stuff. I LOVE the pictures. Those ones of Josh are awesome. So, it's getting cooler here (well, not really yet, but I just KNOW it's coming) so you guys need to plan your trip. Give Hallie a big hug from her aunt she probably doesn't even know exists since we haven't seen her for so darn long. Love, Shawni
Wow, Jelly Shoes…now those bring back memories!! And I love your tub time picture of Hallie!!
Miss you!!
they have jelly shoes in big people sizes! lol my friend alex wouldn't let me buy them because he thought they were a stupid thing to spend 20 bucks on, so I didn't. but they definitely weren't as efficent in the matching sense, being yellow. lol
I LOVE the pics of Hallie's feet – they are adorable! So artistic and photojournalistic! 🙂
