Thanks for asking. easy child has decided to attend the prom alone. Her boyfriend will get dressed in his tux for pictures at our house, then they will go to another girls house to take group pictures, drop easy child off at the prom and go home. husband offered to attend with her, but she declined, she declined most of our ideas. Oh well. Needless to say she is disappointed, but realized its not the end of the world. I try to keep things in perspective for her, like I told her there is a war going on! I am sure she will have a good time. Then husband and I are heading down to Wildwood, NJ a beach town with a boardwalk. easy child will be staying there for the weekend with a group of people. We decided to let her go, but we will be driving her and whoever wants to come with us, and drive them back on Sunday. This way we can be close in case of an emergency. Otherwise, these 17 year old kids want to pile 4 and 5 kids in a car and drive 2 hours away on the parkway by themselves. Not gonna work for us!!
