The Prom

Last weekend Austin went to his first "Prom". He was so cute because he was so nervous and yet so excited at the same time.

I have to tell you, dances are not the way they used to be - I must be getting old because when I went to dances, we went to dinner, the dance, and then usually to somebody's home after, to hang out and watch a movie. Now they are a weekend affair. I couldn't believe all that these boy's planned for this date. First, on Friday night they all went and played laser tag and then to watch a movie. Then Saturday morning, they got up and went to do their "Day activity" - which was breakfast and horse back riding. Then they all went home and got ready for the prom. They went to one of the boy's homes and had a really nice dinner, then to the prom, then went and hung out after the dance. WOW!!!

I tried to tell Austin that this was quite a bit considering he didn't know the girl that he took very well. Can you say - mom's know best? He had an alright time but the girl that he took didn't talk to him all that much, instead she was texting half the night and by the end of the date, he couldn't wait to get home. Whatever happened to just going to dinner and the dance? Anyway, he looked so handsome and was such a gentleman. I was quite proud of him.
