Nightmare Before Homecoming

That's the theme of Alyssa's Homecoming this year.  Just shopping for a dress was a nightmare.  I can't believe how expensive dresses are for such a small amount of material.  Funny, that almost sounds like something my parents would have said but it's true in this case.  The dresses are so short I don't know how anyone could be comfortable in them.  Not to mention most of them are strapless.  It's comical to see the girls trying on dresses and pulling them up on top and then pulling them down on the bottom.  We finally found a dress that we both agreed on and it's very, very cute. 

Now we need to shop for shoes which is another nightmare because Aly doesn't wear heels.  A couple of years ago she went to a dance, we bought shoes and when I picked her up, I noticed her holding her shoes in her hand.  When I asked why, she said, "I took them off during the dance because my feet were tired."  So why did I buy shoes? 

Tomorrow a friend of Amber's is coming to do a practice make-up application to see if we like it.  I know she'll look beautiful!  Then it's off to the hairstylist next week for ideas.  I can't wait to see her the night of her homecoming!
