Prom 2016
Prom happened WAY back in April. Here are some snapshots of this fun day.
#3, #2 and #3.5
This year we had 3 children going to prom.

Prom 2014
This year I had 2 kids going to prom, #2 and #3. #2 had gone last year (You can check that out HERE) with one of his good friends.
#2 and his beautiful girlfriend.
We tried on LOTS of dresses… have you looked for a prom dress lately? It's really hard to find one that is not only age appropriate, and doesn't look like a Vegas show girl, fits correctly and doesn't show off all of a girl's parts. 🙂 We made the skirt, bought the lace top at Express and the tank top at Nordstrom's Rack. The skirt pattern Simplicity S0521 wasn't a hard pattern… but it had a very strange way to make the waistband, which made it harder than it should have been… Of course working with tulle was always a joy. 😉
These shoes were a FANTASTIC buy/find. They are Badgley Mischka's and retail for $247.00. We got them for $39. 🙂
At Ottawa High School it's pretty important HOW you make your entrance. Last year #2 made his grand entrance in his Uncle's Repo truck. 🙂 This year #3 entered in a Radio Flyer Wagon.
We were not sure how she would get gracefully out of the wagon… and her beau picked her up. 🙂

#2 brought his date in something a little more fancy than a Radio Flyer Wagon…
He arrived in a Jaguar.

Prom 2013
There are so many benefits to homeschooling… but missing prom is probably not one of them. I was super happy when #2 was asked to go to prom with one of his best friends. Here's their day…
#6 is helping in brother put his black Converse on
He thought he was going too..
Group of friends
He's not heavy he's my best friend.
Here in Ottawa Kansas they have a little prom tradition called prom walk in. There's a red carpet.. the whole town shows up to watch.. it's pretty cool.
#6 and 3.5 waiting for #2 to get there.
Many try to find the coolest ride to roll into prom walk in.
We like to think #3 had the coolest ride. His uncle owns a repo company… and he let him borrow his truck and car.
The boys rode in front, and the girls rode in the car.. on the hook.
This kid was so happy to drive this cool truck with the lights on…
The boys let the car down.. and got their dates.
** they only drove like this in the parking lot**
#2 and his best friend!
