Michael's school that he will be going to next year had a Mother/Son dance last night - Sock Hop style:
We had SO much fun shopping for our costumes, and Michael's been excited for our "date" and "dance" all week!We started the night out at Miss Oxford Diner, which is a bonafide diner with a counter/stools and everything in an old railway car. Michael ordered a bowl of fruit loops for dinner, and I had grilled shrimp kabobs and rice, which Michael promptly ate half.
Then, we ordered a STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE!!! In an old fashioned cup and everything - with TWO straws. Michael had a sip and said, "DELICIOUS!" His first milkshake on Mommy/Michael date night! We sat at the counter and had a nice meal.
Off to the dance to meet our "double date" : Renee and Ryan! I love my new friend Renee who invited us to the dance. She is so helpful and just fun to be around. Ryan and Michael will be in the same Kindergarten class next year so I am looking forward to getting to know her more!
We had pictures taken just like at a dance (my neighbor is also a photographer and does it for the school for free) and then we got our groove on - 1950s style!
The place was gorgeously decorated and Michael immediately had me dancing with him on the dance floor! There's gonna be a lucky lady who gets Michael as a husband because he LOVES to dance!
Until...other people show up on the dance floor.
Then, he is happy to be a putz and sit around and wait for the dance floor to clear. I guess he needs the room to bust his move.
The dance was supposed to last until 9pm, but by 8pm, Michael said to me, "Mom, I'm ready to go."
Alright then!
So we left and went home to play Monopoly with Dad. :)
Abbey was at the dance and you should have seen the smile on Michael's face. I almost thought my date was going to ditch me.
Oh - more pictures later. My friend Renee brought her tiny point and shoot camera - I should have brought my camera! SIGH. So I'll post more pictures of the inside of the place and of all of us hanging out later!
Until then, one last porch picture that I tried to edit Vintage, but I am just not a vintage girl:
Michael and Brian are off to a fly fishing convention today so I have the morning to work and what do I do? UPDATE MY BLOG! In 2012, my priority is going to be MY memory recording!P
