Boys Are Groovy!

This was the theme of the Mother/Son Dance at Blake's school last Friday night. The look on Blake's face pretty much sums up his thoughts about the whole idea:




Everyone was supposed to dress up, so we made tye-died shirts for the occasion. Note: my OCD personality is not really the right type for this. Just bunching up the shirts, throwing on a few rubber bands here-and-there, and squirting them with dye was too much! I really wanted everything to be "just right", like that's the point, right? All my quirks aside, I think our shirts turned out great. Don't be surprised if you see us in them again.

The moms who planned the dance thought of everything. We had dinner, dessert, snow cones, popcorn, autograph books, a DJ, a hula hoop contest, a bubblegum bubble blowing contest, and plenty of room to run around. This was one time, though, that Blake decided to "pretend to be shy". He ventured out a little bit during the night, but stayed next to me a lot. No complaints here! My only regret is that we never actually danced...

Check out the cool moms! (BTW, Blake took the picture. He's actually really good with a camera.)

Love the tie die shirts! Tyler may still have the one he played tennis in highschool.

What a cute idea. Can't believe Blake was shy. Haven't seen this side of him in a while. Guess it was nice (for once) to have him attached to you. Don't get use to it. He is really very out going these days.
