Prom Princess

Yes.... IT is 4 am. and I am still up...
What a long day this has been.
We started at noon on the hair, nails, make-up and all the rest of the prom "to do's"
space
I did my "old woman" speech about how
(back in the day)
when we went to prom
there were no limos, nails, hair at salons,
or for sure no one we paid to apply our make-up..
And I think we had a good time...
However, I truly can not remember.. haha

I must admit though that she looked like a princess.
Her dress fit her like a Barbie, and we did have a fun time shopping for all the
jewelry, the perfect dress, the right hair-do, and of course.....
the most important of all
the perfect shoes...
Her date is a good friend from school. What a fine gentleman he was too. Came to the door and promised to take good care of her and bring her home safely after the Mirage Party. The school throws an all night party for those who attended the prom with games, prizes (I think) and the one they were most excited about ....
The Laser Tag games...
You have to be a Senior or be invited by a Senior to go since their school is so big.
So Brook was thrilled to go and of course she is always ready for a fun time.

As they drove away.... I must say I did have a little lump in my throat.
I still can not believe my little girl is old enough to grow up.

Her brother informed me that there was nothing I could do about it so I should just smile and get over it... I must say that's pretty good advice coming from a 19 year old.

The other brother however is with me...
We'd just like her to stay home and play...
I think he makes a fine date.... diaper and all.
May we never pass up a chance to get all dolled up and look fabulous..
Think I might just do it sometime soon even if I have
NO WHERE to go..
I've always got a date with a fine, diaper wearin man...
