Sweetheart Dance

The local Girl Scouts put on a Sweetheart Dance for the Fathers and Daughters of the community. Friday night was dance night. The girls got all dressed up in their fancy dresses and waited patiently for Daddy to come home from work. Marcus was very excited for Marcus Mommy night too.

I gave strict instructions for the girls to stay clean and be careful...while Marc was showering and getting dressed, the kids were playing in Marcus' room. Suddenly I heard a scream and then Emma was sobbing. I ran downstairs to find her with a really bad bloody nose...all over her dress! She had a "little disagreement" with Marcus wich led to her hitting him and him kicking her in the face. I carried her to the bathroom, took off her dress and asked Marc to please stop the nose bleed while I attempted to clean the dress (it's Emma's only dress and she was crushed about this). Thank goodness it's 3 layers thick; I was able to use stain spray and scrub the blood out of the first layer while leaving the bottom 2 layers dry so she wouldn't freeze. The night was saved!

The girls practiced their dance moves while waiting for Daddy to finish getting ready.

Olivia had Emma twirling in and out...it was precious.

Time to go...don't they look smashing! They picked up our good friend, Jordan, so they would each have a date. Then they met another "couple" at a restaurant and had a fancy dinner...then off to the dance.

Marcus and Mommy made yummy sandwiches with homemade bread for dinner. We played with cars and trucks and watched a short movie then made cookies and had them with milk.

Marc came home with a few pictures on his phone. Here's Jordan at the dance with the girls.

Daddy with his daughters...so sweet. They had a wonderful time dancing the night away. Such a wonderful memory made with Daddy's Little Girls :-)
