Leia is the Name.

As promised here is a photo from last night.  The hair was a pain in the butt to comb out, but it sure was fun.

Over all the night was a blast, at the very end J was getting upset that his best buddy wasn’t really dancing with him, but he wasn’t dancing with anybody he was just running amok because he could (freedom to run around your gym at school and not get in trouble, exactly).

Hubby and I were surprised at how many parents came and didn’t dress up, we figure it was about a 75/25% split.  I mean here is your chance to try out your costume and have some silly fun with the kids.  Another thing we realized is that although we are hip to new and upcoming Rock music we are definitely not hip to the party mixes.  Except for that Superman thing that I saw on Ellen, there were just a few too many songs that I didn’t know.  Time to get into the program so I know what my kid should be listening to.  Somehow I think the fact that he knows most of the words to most of the U2 albums won’t get him far with the ladies.

Now on to the rest of the festivities.  Today is my birthday, I am not 40 yet and I have a lot to do in this next year to complete all my goals of things to do before 40.   Here I go!

    I LOVE your costume. I have total costume envy. Did you make it yourself?

    Hope your birthday was awesome. I’ll be 39 myself next month…reading this post has made me think about things I might want to do before 40. I think I’ll write about it!
