I cant really think of anything I rather not do on a Sunday afternoon when the race is on except taking my daughter dress shopping for prom.  Unfortunately that is exactly what I did this weekend.  While I was expecting a horrible day it turned out to be quite an enjoyable afternoon watching my daughter try on some beautiful dresses.  It’s amazing how a little time spent doing something out of the norm with your kids can help bring you closer.  I never would have emagined liking looking for dresses, shoes, and beauty care products but I’m glad now that I didn’t miss it.  It really make you feel old when your daughter who once bounced on your knee is standing before you a beautiful women about to go to her first formal dance.  My daughter in particular hasn’t been one much for chasing boys, going on dates, wearing makeup and other things many young girls do so I was quite shocked to see her in this light.  I must say the young man that gets to escort her to this years prom is one lucky guy.  Of course I’ll sit up all night worring just exactly when she’ll be home.  I remember my prom and how beautiful my date looked.  He better keep his hands to himself, lol.  I’ll update you after its all said and done provided I live through the night without having a heart attacke.
