Hi everyone - it is finally quiet here...the girls just left.  I must say I was not disappointed when Cait told me she had to be at work at 3PM today.  Yesterday was LOOOOOONG&#33;.  They both had preconceived ideas of the color and style they wanted and for the first couple of hours refused to try on anything that didn&#39;t fall into those categories.  We opened the first store at 10AM and closed the last one at 9PM but eventually ended up with exactly the opposite of what they were looking for.  Different colors, different styles and although not what I would have chosen - beautiful gowns that they looked like a million dollars in.  They looked so grown up and gorgeous - I couldn&#39;t believe it was really them (of course Cait still had on her sneakers under her lemon yellow beaded gown but I&#39;m working on her LOL).  We still need to buy shoes, jewelry and underwear but the biggest challenge is over. I must admit I nearly needed the EMT&#39;s when they hit the total button on the register but I kept reminding myself they only have 1 Senior Prom.   After we got home they modeled their gowns for Jim who informed them he would be following them around all night on prom night with his shotgun in case their boyfriends got any ideas - they were not amused because I think they believed him.  Of course after their Mom went to bed we sat up until 4:30 AM catching up but I was still awake and up making a bagel run before 7AM so I am heading back to bed for awhile.  <br />

Hope everyone is having a great day and enjoying some beautiful spring weather.  A smile will help to brighten any day.
