i started packing things in our bedroom - sort of my last big item... i've been putting it off. i had no choice. i had to start with the dreaded shoes. hopefully weston won't be upset that i didn't wait for him to get home to pack his own shoes ... he's very fond of them.
i, however, have a very strong love/hate relationship with the husband's shoes. i love them because he loves them, it's that simple. and i hate them because they are literally everywhere. i guess it takes something like packing your house up to make you really take stock of how much you have, especially how much of one thing.
(for example, the other day when my parents were here, it seemed like the photos, prints, and frames were seeping out of the walls!!! just when you thought you had them all gathered, stacked, even packed in the vans, there was another pile just waiting to be discovered somewhere! i still think that, come moving day, we'll be walking out with a few more picture frames that went unnoticed.)
well, the shoes are kind of like that. everytime i thought i was getting all of the shoes rounded up and put in their correct boxes (i'm not kidding - you'll see what i mean in just a second) there were 3 or 4 more pair or 3 or 4 more empty boxes that i hadn't even noticed before!
just to give you a smidge of an idea of what we're talking about here, i took a few photos along the way. please keep in mind, this is not the entire shoe collection...
8 quick quips:
Weston's shoe collection is outrageous!! Too funny. I just now read that you are moving. Where is this new 2000 square foot home with a large kitchen? Oh and you asked for advice on how to fill the kitchen...I LOVE having a little computer desk and desktop in my kitchen...highly recommend it! Let me know if you need help with Kate as you move, I am sure Bens would love to play!
Wow! I knew he had lots of shoes, but seeing a photo really shows it off!!!!:)
Well, now I know what a shoe collection looks like. Mine is rather pathetic in comparison!
Come on, that's only half the collection. I already sold the other half! I bought my Mac by selling 6-7 pairs.
I think someone needs an intervention...
holy crap, that is a lot of shoes. My older brother is also, very into shoes. I'm actually jealous, I wish I had that many pairs of shoes.
Hi Erin,
I love catching up with you guys and it has been awhile since I have gone on your blog. Lots happening! Congrats on your move and on baby girl #2. I already knew about Weston's shoes. Tell him Christian only has 2 tennis shoes and 1 pair of church shoes. Maybe when his feet stop growing, he can start his own collection with his own funds! love you guys!
Oh Erin Erin Erin. How I know your pain. I live in a 450 sq ft apartment because it was the only place in our budget that came with a garage. . . a garage we wouldn't have to have if we didn't have so many blasted shoes!
