It's Raining on Prom Night~

and boy did it EVER rain!!!  Torrential downpours, thunder, lightning, tornado watches, tornado warnings, hail (the size of baseballs in some areas)...you name it!

And, somehow my precious one managed to stay dry.  The child didn't so much as catch a drop of rain!  Lucky kid!!!

All I kept think about was Olivia Newton John's song, Raining on Prom Night.  So not fun.

I am thankful to their sweet, sweet limo driver Mr. Scruggs for getting them to dinner, to the event and back safely.  My sweet child insisted he must have a larger tip than originally planned as he was so cautious and sweet to them.  Let me tell, there were times when the rain was so bad you couldn't see two feet in front of you.

They had a wonderful time despite the weather!!

Okay, I know y'all want to see pictures...so here are a few (we took a ton).



I think the smile says it all...



Big sis came home to surprise her and help her get ready!



They looked so sweet together!





Bond vs. Charlie's Angel (her sister's idea!) LOL



Everyone loved the "Bieber" hair! LOL



One of my favs, says it all...

The best part...they are two of the best kids in the world.  Smart, funny, and compassionate!

Tip toe~

through the tulips!

Our local Whole Foods had a special on beautiful tulip bunches from Virginia, and I couldn't resist!!  They add the perfect touch of springtime to our home.  I also purchased some ranunculus and a bunch of sunflowers (Trader Joes) earlier in the week.  We also added a living basil plant to our kitchen, it is a bunch of basil minus the dirt (you keep the roots moist).  I used an old pickle jar filled with water to keep ours, and we have been using it at mealtimes this week.  On fresh pizza, in salad, and tonight on grilled chicken breasts with orange and lemon drizzled with a bit of olive oil.

It is prom weekend, so we will be busy!  Will post pics on Monday.  But, for now enjoy a touch of spring!


You can spy another new accessory from West Elm on the mantle-love this candle holder!




I love the tangerine color of these!



Yellow-my all time favorite color for flowers and our Spring Chalkboard!



Sunflowers and Living Basil-yum!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!  We are praying the rain stays north of here...prom is just not much fun in the rain!!
