Naturally the snow boots I bought the kids last year no longer fit. Totally to be expected. Cassie had already bought one pair for child number 3 but those ones are staying at school. So then she needed a pair for home and there is no way she is even close to wearing a hand me down from my little woman.
It's Christmas time which is already a difficult time money wise for families. Cassie commented on dipping into their small savings and then asked if I could help. So I went online and found a pair for my little woman and my little man. They will arrive next week. None to soon as it is cold back there.
I think the kids will actually wear their boots this year. Last winter the little man refused to wear them. Course he had to be coaxed to wear pants. I have noticed he has adapted to the different seasons there and now just wears pants. ;p
Buying the boots reminded me of my grandma helping out my mom when it was necessary. She bought our winter wear when we lived in MN. It's part of being a family and part of the village.
