Saturday, pictures and a movie, and a new picture

Waiting for Middle outside school. One pm.

I actually don't HAVE a lot of pictures - it all happened too quickly.
It was a beautiful day.

Glad you all survived the hectic Saturday?
Did Youngest play a Hayden Trumpet Concerto?
I was a Teenage Band Geek. Boyfriend #1 played French Horn, Boyfriend #2 played trumpet (so does my Mom, my brother and my nephew) I was in the percussion section.

Yay for music! I agree though, more headless prom pictures are in order.

Youngest plays the trumpet very impressively well. He must practice a lot at home, which makes you a saint.

Middle and S. look so cute and embarrassed. Just adorable! I say this even though I would have had the urge to kill any grownup who said that about me when I was 17.

You did well.

That first half sounds and LOOKS like my Saturday last week. It's so nerve-wracking, isn't it? No prom last night, though . . . next year, maybe.

They look so chichi or is it gigi - middle's ensemble makes me think of Kevin Spacey.

I take back what I said earlier about her dress - it is lovely. Although I wish there were a pair of shimmery sheer stockings on those legs and her posture is making my neck itch ever so slightly.

And Youngest? OH MY.
Felix confessed to me twice over the last week that he really does wish he was playing trumpet. Last night he asked if I'd talk to the Band Master and ask if he could change. If he sees/hears this it will only confirm his resolve.

And the parents? Did you prattle on? Laugh too loud? Say something that didn't quite come out how you meant it to? Fart?

Considering how ladylike she looked, I bet he's glad he decided to go with the coat and tie. How well does a teenager handle it when mom and her legion of fans want to know every detail?
I'm with Kim - how did meeting the partens go?

As a side note, the inside of that new jeep looks pretty snazzy!

They both look great, especially love Middle's jacket.

They both look stunning.

She is quite tall. Middle must have felt like he was with a supermodel. :)

Great pictures. And I love hearing Youngest playing his horn.

Was there an after-prom party?

Was she that much taller than Middle, or is it just that she is standing on the landing? Yes, indeed, more pictures, please.

OK. I've checked the blog at least 10 times again...
Does this mean that I am paranoid???
Wake up, it's a beautiful sunny, mild, springy, flowery day!
Oh dear. I just remebered...there might be no posting today..

Congratulations on not only DOING all that, but getting it documented and then POSTING it. Dang. I dig your sons. They are cool--I hope to have such cool sons. Will it bug them when I say things someday like, "well, Blackbird's youngest wore this and he looked awesome...and her middle played this and made this...why can't you be more like Blackbird's kids???"

I'm so proud, I don't know if that even makes sense, but it's true.
They look lovely.

You have to be young and slim to wear that dress and look that fabulous. Lucky Middle! Oh and lucky Miss S because Middle looks pretty special too - that jacket is great.

What a hectic day. The prom outfits are so great -- much better than the scary stuff we wore in high school. Your boys have excellent taste, which I assume they get from you.
