Prom 2010

The Mommyologist is hosting a bloggy prom.  When I first read about it HERE I realized that it was true.  I did have a closet with several fancy dresses that never get worn.  But did any of them fit? 

Just 10 months post-partum from the twins, my body still hasn't recovered.

The first 2 dresses, sadly, didn't work.

But then I found one that was a little more stretchy.

Now that I had a dress, I had to do this my own way.

See, I'm a self-professed tomboy.  Sometimes I might wear a dress or skirt to teach my classes.  And I wore a lot of dresses when I was preggo with the twins (because face it - nothing else would fit over The Belly).  But that's kind of the exception.  So if I'm going to do something like put on formal wear, I need to balance that out a little bit.  Guess what else is gathering dust besides my dresses because I'm so wrapped up in this whole raising-3-boys thing?

My dear, dear horse Phoenix.

Who better to take with me to prom?

Of course, the minute I walk out the door in my black formal dress and tall black riding boots, who do I see?

My neighbor, Joe.  Embarassing.

"Where are you going in that get up?"

To catch my horse, of course.

Scooter, our border collie, acted as chaperone.

Phoenix didn't even try to eat my corsage.  I trained him well.

Pierce watched us leave.  No kids allowed at this prom.

Phoenix wore his black tie - a dressage saddle and bridle in formal black, with a black velvet saddle pad.  I think we complimented each other well, don't you?

Course he desperately needs a hair cut.  What can you do though?  He was totally raised in a barn.

I don't know about you, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what others did for Blog Prom 2010.  Go check out the Mommyologist to find out!
