Warning: Lots of Photos

Waaaaaay back in February when we were getting several feet of snow daily, a kid from the youth group at church asked Becky to be his date for prom. Under the premise of friendship, she said yes. Soon afterward, she started scouring the internet for the perfect prom dress. Being that we were in the midst of the coldest and snowiest month in my 39 year history, I thought how nice it would be to actually wear something strapless and shoulder-baring in May. She found the gown she wanted, we headed to the fabric store, and I made it happen. (Buying a $300 dress for prom is ludicrous. It's more than I paid for my wedding gown. I can bargain shop, people. Never underestimate me.)

This past weekend was not only Mother's Day, but prom. After a gorgeous week of near-perfect weather and much sunshine, the temperatures dropped to low 40's. Suddenly that strapless and shoulder-baring dress was very, very cold. And on the way home from her date's house, as the temperatures continued to drop, we saw snow.

SNOW.

IN MAY.

FOR PROM.

Mother Nature has officially lost her shiz.

It only looks warm and sunny in the pictures.

My daughter. She wears flip flops for every occasion. Year 'round. These were silver.

The date's 'dirty' truck. He was mortified that he didn't have time to wash it. I reminded him that girls are way more concerned with their gown than they are the state of a truck. He was skeptical. He's all boy.

Micah approves of Alex. This is very out of character for the boy. And it was completely spontaneous.

We all loved it. Micah brings a smile to everyone's face.

The wind. OH, the wind. And the cold. AND THE SNOW. That's 9 yards of netting flying around there. You should have seen her in the truck. It was like a vision impairing snow storm.

Becky insisted on this shot. She lurves her baby bro.

The date's sister, and one of Becky's best friends.

And that's the end of prom, 2010. Unfortunately, it's not the end of the snow. In May.
