James asked me one day if i considered chaperoning prom for his school. I totally thought that would be awesome. Get all dressed up, maybe dance a little, not have to pay, get to eat some food. ofcourse there would be tons of high schooler there that we have to make sure are not doing drugs, drinking or not playing nice but hey it would be a date, right? So the morning of my birthday james had me go into the bathroom and this is what i found... there were about 50 fish (40 live and about 10 not) in the bathtub and james asking me to go to prom. ofcourse i said yes. he was kinda sad that i wasn't giddy as a school girl, but i'm not a school girl anymore, and i wasn't even like that as a school girl. but i was excited.
So he talked his school into having "extra security" there so cindy and dave got to go with us. BONUS! i got my dress 30 bucks at burlington (ok i bought 3 and kept two but all three cost the same as one of the dresses most of the girls were wearing) Cindy and Me waiting for the kids to get checked before getting on the bus.
Our kids stayed at the Knapps, where they had the best night ever! we ofcourse had to take pictures on the lawn together. how cute. I'm the one with the white legs and arms.
I made a boutineer for James and corsages for cindy and i to wear, i took roses from my mom's backyard and our neighborhood walkway to make them and they came out pretty good, a little wabbly though to cindy and i didn't wear ours to the dance.
Prom was at a jewish history museum next to the getty. it was very pretty and large, and had extra security of their own, so we didn't have to do much. the dance floor was outside, which is good when you're hot and sweaty on the dance floor but cold if not, so i was sporting james coat most of the night.
We had a great time. but we were really tired by the end, we aren't that young any longer. James had to tap a couple of students on the shoulder and offer a couple of chairs to girls sitting on laps but no problems at all. they also had a caricaturist that drew the kids pictures and karaoke for the singers. fun night.
