Elementary School Graduate

Here's our "final days in 5th grade, going to the Middle School" girl before her 5th grade dance. She rarely wears a dress these days so I was thrilled when she said she wanted to find one to match the luau theme. We found it quite easily at JCPenney and she said it was so comfy. So off to the dance she went (a few pictures I snapped while she was greeting friends) in her adorable outfit. When I went back 3 hours later, I was having a hard time finding her...the lights were dimmed, there were kids everywhere, etc. So I saw the back of this one girl and said to myself that looks like Katie's build, but she has shorts on, that's not her. Then I kept looking and panic was starting to settle in, when that girl turned around and sure enough, my beautiful little angel with the nice dress had it wadded up behind her tied with a hair tie, and she had shorts on under the dress the whole time. When I finally got her attention that it was time to go home, I asked her what the deal was. She said, "Well it was time to do the limbo and I couldn't spread far enough with my dress down, so I pulled it up and tied it." Simple as that Mom, why would I ever think that would happen?!
