Prom in 8th grade???

 For the past 2 weeks, I have been working
with a bunch of moms at Summer's school to
create "A Night in Paris" theme for their
8th grade Promotion Dance.  Is this a new
thing...the word Promotion?  We called it 
graduation back in my day.  Guess I'm showing
my age here.  :0)  It looked like Prom to me.
 Sydney helped me put the food tables together.
Summer has complained that this school has
lame dances.  She said they never have snacks.
Well, we made up for it!  The food rocked!
She had it all.  I was a fan of the DJ, especially
since he played two Bruno Mars songs.
 Since I was at the school from 1:30 until 10:30 that
night, Summer went home with Gloria to get ready.
Gloria put make-up on Summer and curled her hair.
MAKE-UP ON SUMMER!  That is a rare sight.
She looked beautiful!!!
 Leah went to Loree's house to get ready and
Loree spent 2 hours straightening Leah's hair.
She looked beautiful, but I find it funny that
Summer spent a bunch of time trying to go
curly, and Leah went straight.  The grass 
is always greener.  :0)  Cute girls!!!
I forgot I had had my camera set to low light, so
all of my pictures are blurry.  Sorry.  Here's the
whole group: Loree, Gloria, Leah, & Summer.
They were so cute, they even pulled Syd onto
the dance floor a few times.  Syd had a blast 
watching from the kitchen, as did I.  
It was a fun night.
