It has been busy around here! Last weekend I told you about our District Fine Arts Festival, what I did not tell you is that our oldest missed her prom to participate. This weekend was another local schools prom so she and a friend (who also missed her prom and is on our team) decided to go! They did not have dates and I must admit, at first we weren't thrilled. It was a whim, but they convinced us to let them go. (Good thing mom had bought a dress on clearance after last prom season!) So we had a friend do alterations (Thank you J!), went shopping for shoes and I spent most of the day straightening her hair! (Oh yeah it is crazy curly!) You know I would have never gone to a prom alone but it's a different time and I think they will have a blast. They sure look pretty! I love that they are two smart and beautiful independant (young) women, they know that they do not need a man (boy) to go out and have fun! You go girls! I am very proud of these "little women". (Oh! Both girls already had their dresses, they did not plan them to match but it sure is going to make for great scrapbooking!)

Welcome to SITS! It is great that your daughter is outgoing and independent! (However, it sounds like you did a lot of pre-prom Mom work to make sure everything fell into place...) ;) Sounds like fun. Thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous! You're right-- it's a different time now. I didn't go to my prom because nobody asked me. I wish I had been brave enough to grab a girlfriend and go!
I came by to welcome you to SITS!
Waving hello from Sits, I think it is great your daughter was able to attend prom. Ok, not her school and no date, but something she wanted to do and not miss out on. She looked lovely and how sweet of you to spend the time to help her straighten her hair. I have the opposite problem and can't keep a curl...Drop by my place anytime it is nice to meet new friends. ~Cathy~
They look lovely.

They looked great!
Welcome to SITS, it's great to have you as a SITSta!
So pretty!
Beautiful! great to meet you through SITS!!
Girls today have so much strength and independence. I wouldn't have had the courage to go alone either. But I'm impressed that they did! It says a lot about them, in my opinion.
Popped in from SITS to say hi!
They look beautiful! I agree, the matching dresses will make for great scrapbooking :)
Just dropped in from SITS to welcome you to the SITStahood! Hope your day is going well!
