I thought of Chelsea yesterday when a friend of mine posted pics of her daughter headed out to their 8th grade formal...she was dressed like she was ready to go clubbing
It made me glad I know people who recognize what is age appropriate for their daughters!!
Oh, goodness! I can only imagine! Or maybe I don't want to!

You should have seen how some of the girls were dressed at Justin's basketball banquet last weekend! Don just looked at me and said, "I'm glad I don't have a daughter". I told him if we did she wouldn't be dressed like that!
Your comment to Don hit the nail on the head. At this age, it is all about what the parents will allow. My feeling is that as long as I am buying the clothes, I will approve of them.

I was shocked the other day when I picked up Jared at school, I saw a 6th grade girl who was wearing the equivilent of the naughty Catholic school girl outfit - super short skirt, plunging v-neck shirt and knee high boots - 6th grade, I kid you not![]()

Oh wow, Chelseas dress is gorgeous and she looks great in it! I had a similar experience with my daughter when shopping for her Father/Daughter dance. She and I seemed to fall in love with the same dress, but I knew that she would second guess it if I gushed over itI was so happy when she chose the dress that not only flattered her the most but that I liked the most LOL. Anyway, I think you are going to have to invest in a baseball bat to keep the boys away from Chelsea

Thanks! Yes, that is exactly the way Chelsea and I are -- it was such a relief when the dress she loved was one I loved as well!
what a great dress!
Thank you!

Okay- so I stumbled upon more art work for Connor's room:
This may be the smallest image ever, but...

Cute!!! That would go with Connor's room perfectly! The colors are exactly right! I will have to head over to Walmart's website and look!
