The Brookside Intermediate 'Valentine Dance' was Friday and Julia had been looking forward to it for weeks. Eli, a boy from school and XC teammate asked her to be his date (which meant they met at the dance and danced to one slow song LOL). We carpooled with one of Julia's friend's, Ruthie. Ruthie's parents drove them to the dance and I picked up the girls, then took them out to eat at Chiptole and Menchies. The girls had a blast! They said almost everyone in the school was there and there was a lot of dancing. So happy they had a fun time!In terms of the dress-we tried the mall and were not successful. I bought a really pretty pink one but she decided on this purple one that she borrowed from a friend. Meanwhile, she really wanted me to curl her hair but I couldn't figure out how to do it (attempted it with a flat iron and velcro rollers). I might need to invest in hot rollers or a curling iron. It's hard working with super long, heavy hair!

Beautiful. For hair, rub a bit of good hair gel in you hands with a small drop of water. Work into the hair from roots to tips. Take thin sections of hair and put warm (not hot) curling iron near the roots and wrap hair around the wand 2 or thee times. Hold 3-5 seconds (You'll need to experiment but don't hold too long otherwise you scortch the hair.) With her length hair, you may need to do each length in sections. Loosen the iron and slid it out of the curl. Pin in place until completely cooled. Spay with a strong hold hair spray. Let it dry completely then unfurl. Tossle with fingers and spray again. You'll need to experiment but you should get a curl to hold. Years of theatre teaches you tricks!
