We had a great time! Went after school on Friday to look and booked a hotel room so we didn't have to head back late at night. We went to many stores and tried on dresses. Looking back its kind of funny since the dress I liked and Cassie didn't on the hanger is the one she ended up with. I had her try it on with all the other ones she picked out. That was her number two dress. She still wanted to look the next day incase we found something better.
We treated ourselves and ate out at Red Lobster which I haven't been to in a long time and Cassie couldn't even remember being there. It was soooooooooo good. YUM!
Then we went to the movies that night going to THE BOSS because MIL hadn't seen it and it was funny enough for sure to go a second time. After the movies it was late so we headed back to the hotel only to dream of the dress that might be picked the next day so we could go home even though it was a fun time just us girls.
The next morning we slept in! AHH yes that was so nice! Then back to shopping we would go. We went to another place that had a sale and Cassie found a very lovely dress. She decided on this one but because it was a bit snug under her arms we ordered one to be sent to the house before prom. YES SHOPPING WAS DONE. This was my face by then!
We decided since we saved money that why the heck not lets go to another movie! We got tickets to see THE Jungle Book in 3D. While we were sitting there waiting for the movie to begin and getting our popcorn Cassie got a text saying that one of the girls had already bought the exact same dress. I am thinking too myself how funny, no big deal they will both look beautiful in that. Well that is NOT how teens think of it. The girl was a little upset which Cassie understood. The movie started and I told her to shut off her phone. We watch the movie and it was GREAT but I worried as Cassie was I am sure thinking about the dress situation the whole time.
After the movie MIL was trying to come up with ideas. We finally decided to go back and try the dress that I liked on her the most. She tried it back on and decided on that one. We would just have to take the other dress back once it is shipped to us and get our return on it.
In the end I think Cassie actually ended up looking much better in the dress she got. It suits her and it is stunning. Not to mention on sale haha (hey I am a mom of four I like that). The weekend was a triumph and we had a great time! No matter what MIL, Cassie and I are doing we end up having a great time but this was a precious time that she will be able to look back on and see her Grandma and Mom really cared.
Cant wait for Prom now. But wait....still have to have a boys weekend and get three tuxes!
