before and after

 
saturday was the homecoming dance.
as these things so often happen, it was also the same day that auntie alli came to visit. the girls had planned to come over here and get ready and take pictures and then go to peter's for more pics and then off to dinner and the dance. but then, as these things so often happen, auntie alli's flight got delayed. so i was going to leave while they were getting ready and be back in time to take the pics. but then i ended up leaving 2 hours later than planned, so no pics for this mama. and, as these things so often happen, matt had to work.
(it's ok though, the kids did a good job of it on their own!)
anywho, the getting ready. and that alyssa is sooo silly.
i had gotten a bunch of munchies and then right before we grubbed, our neighbor peter (who also happens to own the best chinese restaurant in all of leonardtown) brought over 3 plates of yummy chinese food.
it was a feast!!!
addie kept saying "we're having a party!"
the little girls were a little bit more excited than the big ones.
but i think the big ones liked the "party" too.
alexis called home around 8:30 and was done with the dance. her ankle still hurt and she wore her super high heels (against mama's good advice) and was ready to come home. so we went to pick her up. then, an hour later we got to go pick up the boys. woo hoo!
 
the boys somehow convinced us to swing by mcd's on our way to drop everyone off. since i was having photo taking withdrawal, i took some pics of them while we waited.
love that teen photo dodge.
but check out the bubba being the only one willing for a picture.
that doesn't usually happen!
i guess they can only pose with $?
silly boys.
last year i was at tofw for homecoming and this year alli's silly flight messed things up.
but next year homecoming, mark my words, next year i'm all over it.
