I had sooooo much fun today at an awesome barn dance. We adorned ourselves in Civil War era, me wearing the beautiful, famous red (I know, it looks like a Scarlet O'hara dress) that used to be my mom's when she was about 15 or 16. Crazy, right? I know, its like almost too small for me now, and probably will be that last time I wear it to someplace so we took plenty of cute pictures for you all! Elena dressed in her yellow Disney Princess ball gown, Princess Belle she was, and mom wore a flowing light lilac with a ruffled neckline, a very soft purple color. My grandma even came, and we all had so much fun learning to do the Virginia reel and even getting mixed up you had to laugh because the Bluegrass Pickers played such lively, wonderful ballads and tunes that you had to have a good ole time! There was even this darling little three-year-old that clung to me like glue, declaring, "I wanna dance with the red girl!" The only thing that was missing at the dance were more boys! There were about 3 guys (which were older men might I respectfully put) that actually danced....man, me and my mom were talking about how next January I'm gonna invite tons of homeschool families we know! You know, that'll add to their boy numbers REAL fast!:) Ye-haw! Enjoy! I'll try to post a video if this thing will let me....here they are:

| Ok, so you know the saying it hurts to be beautiful? Well, at least us girls know that saying!:) My mom literally sowed, let me repeat this, SOWED MY DRESS TO ME, to keep the straps up! Since its been used several times before, lets just say the elastic isn't as spry as it was before...but I LOVE the dress! It truly makes me feel like I'm in the 1860's. |
