This is pretty much the lazy blogger's out, but I am just going to post a bunch of pictures from today and just give you a brief running commentary. Some of these are probably blurry but it is late and I can't tell the difference!
Puttin' on the Ritz for prom! Thanks to our friends Scott and Sandy, Carter got to escort his date, Gracie, in style!
Yup, they drove over from Green Bay to let Carter drive their "Hot Wheels" edition Camaro to Prom. That's what great friends we are blessed to have. Carter knew about it and was so excited the past few days. He didn't tell anyone!
Of course his other surprise for his "fans," was the white tux, top hat and cane. It is an Assumption tradition of sorts that the junior boys wear a white tux. Many did and looked quite sharp!
Carter was the only one with a top hat (I added the matching ribbon) and cane (which I had to spray paint yesterday to get it looking decent again). He actually gets to keep the hat. "Mom, I can wear it someday for my wedding." Oh boy, let's just get through prom first.
Onto Gracie's house for the exchange of flowers. Here he is putting on her wrist corsage, much easier than pinning on the boutonniere.
Aren't they adorable? And look at that dress! I am used to seeing Gracie running up and down the basketball court or the soccer field. They both clean up good, don't they?
Thankfully Gracie's mom is an excellent photographer and captured a pic of me and my baby.
Gotta love when the car matches the vest and tie, right?
They put the windows up and drove slowly so the hair on both of them would stay in place. Ha.
Ready to roll... First stop, making an entrance at the museum for junior class pictures! Then he basically told people he got the car from his Fairy Godmother and that it would turn into a Honda Civic at midnight. And it did!
Some of the guys in white!
Looking dapper on the front steps of the museum.
Yes they are just friends, but they still make a classy-looking couple, don't they?
Fun with the cane...

Festival of lights = Simply gorgeous!!
Friends forever: Kassidy and Nick.
Macyn and Macie strike a pose with attitude!
Dinner was served right at the school, as is tradition. I was one of the
servers and was so busy I had no time to spy on Carter or hover.
Honest. After we cleaned up dinner, we watched the Grand March and headed out to leave the kids to their fun.
Grandma and Grandpa Austin came to the Grand March, too! Grandma was quite impressed with Carter's ensemble... until she saw a picture of the car. Sorry, Carter, Grandma's a gearhead. Ha.
But I thought you, your date and, well, everyone, looked fabulous!
