These are Evan's new Crocs. We took him to the kiosk in the mall yesterday so he could find some sandals for the summer that he can put on by himself. The bummer was that they didn't have a great color selection because they haven't gotten any shipments lately. We had four colors to choose from...baby blue, orange, charcoal and turquoise (oh, yes. There were other colors, but they were definitely girl colors: purple, pink, etc.). Well, when I see the turquoise ones, I can only think of Sarah in her wonderful turquoise outfit at church with her turquoise Crocs. And Sarah is a girl! So I didn't really want Evan to get those. Well, Michael let Evan choose the color and no matter how we pitched them to him, he always chose the turquoise. On the wall, looking at all the colors: Turquoise. On the floor, all four colors: Turquoise. Mix them around: Turquoise. Pull out a completely different style of Crocs: Nope...turquoise! Well, it's grown on me. When he has them on, they don't scream out to me that they should only be for girls. However, if you don't agree, keep your comments and snickers to yourself. Ha! The good thing I could come up with for this situation is that Maren will have a really great pair of sandals in two years.

Fun Photos
Evan LOVES to play with "water bayoons" and water weinies. He and Michael were having lots of fun outside and I was trying to snap a picture of him in all his cuteness. This is cute, but nothing like he was the half second before when I actually pressed the button for the camera to take the picture! :-)
Like father, like son, like daughter. When Michael is tired or sleeping, his hands go behind his head. You always know when Evan is sleepy in the car because you'll find his hands behind his head. Dead giveaway. Well, Maren is just like those boys. I caught her last night and had to snap the photo for proof.

I love the crocs! My kids wear them out, so if Evan is anything like my boys, they will be so hammered after the summer, that they will not be fit for hand me downs!
Turquoise is so not a girl color! He looked so cute in them today! We were at GI joes the other day and Noah found some pale green ones and really wanted them...I thought they were pretty girly myself! Those silly little boys know what they like!
Funny about today...I had put Evan's socks and church shoes on. A few minutes later he was just out of sight and I heard him grunting. I asked him if he was doing the obvious and he said no. A few minutes later he walked out in front of me like nothing was interesting and asked me a boring question. I looked down and he had his Crocs on. No church shoes, no socks. Ha! So he got to wear his turquoise Crocs with his maroon dress shirt today. What a fashion statement. :-)
We finally converted to crocs a couple of weeks ago and I could not go back. I just love saying "ok put your shoes on". No more chasing and forcing, they love them.
