Oh, What a Weekend!

The weekend was one I had been anticipating for awhile. It was going to be crazy and fun and way busy, but I knew we could get through it with lots of smiles!! Thankfully, we did!

First up, Friday night was Prom. P, my AFS Chilean daughter, was taking K (freshman). Both girls were very excited and went through transformations. I think K's was the most dramatic....

From beautiful curls,

To beautiful mermaid,

To 2 lovely ladies!

After taking hundreds of pictures (you think I am kidding?), B and I headed to the Red Nun for dinner. This is a pic of B and her friend M who have been friends since birth! His family was there recovering from Prom Prep, also.

Then after a night of post prom activities, P was in a fencing competition on 2 hours sleep and came in 3rd! Her first international medal!

Then Sunday, we headed to Gibbet Hill Farm for my brother and sister-in-law's baby shower. They are having a boy and since my dad is the 3rd and my brother the 4th, we have nicknamed him 5. Let's hope they figure out how to use all the great presents they got yesterday. My brother couldn't imagine the amount of blankets and what he was suppose to do with them all. Just you wait!

That is it, all wrapped up in a tidy post. Oh, and K was a horse show yesterday while we were at the shower. No pics of that since my camera and I were at the shower. She had a few seconds and a third! Time to unearth my kitchen table and do some laundry! Was your weekend busy?

Frag'n Friday

Perfect timing for Friday Fragments! I have a jumble of things to unload. For more jumbled thoughts from other fabulous bloggers go visit Mrs. 4444s.

*First off, Happy Spring! I love all the flowers popping up and the leaves growing on the trees!

*At my Mom's Birthday dinner, my niece R modeled a dress that Californian Grammie Elizabeth knitted for her. Isn't it and she adorable? (Yes, that is an old fashion phone, her favorite toy.)

*My family is all about landscaping and making beautiful pots of flowers. I am the one that takes the pictures of their work. Maybe it's my age or my new found sense of "Get out of my way. I can do it.", but I tackled an area in my yard yesterday. It looked like this to start with....

I couldn't use a bulldozer, I had to use my hands.

The weeded conclusion with one Peony plant planted. Now I just need some more plantings and some mulch!

*Today is Prom day. The house is abuzz!!! B is doing the hair for P and a friend of K's this afternoon. She wanted to make sure HER hair looked stunning and impressive while she was doing their hair. This is what I came up with.

*So K and P are going together as "sisters". I only hope they rock the prom photo like I did in 1984.

*Pictures of them coming next week! Happy Weekend :)

An 80's Prom!

The PTO put on an 80's prom for adults this weekend.

It was so much fun!

Some of my friends really got into it and went and had their hair done and bought dresses (80's style), while other (bitches!) who still fit into their prom dresses wore those. The gym was dressed up with stars, twinkle lights, a disco ball and red balloons. There were corsages and boutonnieres for sale along with the opportunity to have your "prom" picture taken. And obviously there was plenty of 80's music to go around!

Pretty corsages...

My vote for cutest couple!
The prom "king" and "queen"...
Me, trying out my Madonna/Debbie Gibson/Cyndi Lauper look...
My date absconded by the prom queen....
The court, trying to get themselves together, mind you this was late in the night and we were able to legally drink at our prom...
Maybe next years will be a 60's prom? Stay tuned.....
