Spencer's birthday surprise! Revealed!

Three months ago, Spencer went into Johnston and Murphy shoe store at Leesburg outlets and found a pair of shoes on clearance that he REALLY liked (for spencer to REALLY like something in the clothing department is a BIG deal) But they only had a size 10 1/2 and size 11. Spencer wears a size 10. So, alas, we couldn't get them. But every time Spencer has come with me to the outlets since then, he continued to go into the store on the off chance that they would have his size, even though the shoe is on clearance.

So, two weeks before Spencer's birthday, I went to the outlets to do some bithday shopping, I went into the store again and spoke with the manager. After half a dozen phone calls to different stores, he FOUND the shoe, in Spencer's size, at a store in Maine. One of TWO pairs on the whole east coast in a size 10. So I paid for the shoes and for shipping, and they should be here this week! I told Spencer that I had gone to the store again, but that the manager had called around and NOT been able to find the shoe anywhere :)

On his birthday this past tuesday, he was thrilled with the shoes. So much so that in the middle of the resturaunt, he tok off his sneakers and put his new shoes on. :) Here are some pictures!!
