First Dance!

Rachel and Madison had their first dance this past Friday and dropping them off was much harder than I thought it was going to be. They all wore the infamous colored, skinny jeans that they all bought at the mall a few weeks ago (which I personally think are absolutely hideous but then again I am not 12!). The moms and girls all had dinner out before the dance and then they all piled into the Yukon and off we went. I pulled up to school and was ready to park when I heard a blood curdling "WHAT are you doing Mom?" I told them I was going to park so I could get a picture with all of the girls in their jeans (in the picture there are quite a few missing). Well, needless to say they were having NO part of me getting out the car and taking pictures. I think they would have prefered me not even coming to a complete stop and simply jumping out as I rolled by. And so my lonely self drove away with a huge knot in my throat knowing that this was the beginning of the end. I consoled myself by getting a fabulous mani and pedi and made some pity phone calls to my mom and Angie who reminded me of all of our CYC dances that we went to and all of our matching outfits. The girls busted through the doors about 10:30 and were talking a mile a minute about how much fun they had and who they danced with. I love that these kids danced the entire night...boys AND girls which is so much fun. It is usually just the girls because the boys are too cool at this age. And so another chapter begins in the life of the Crowell Twins...boo hoo!!
