Getting ready for post prom..and the kitchen renovation

I can't believe that it has been 2 months since my last blog entry. Our kitchen renovation is coming along slowly but surely. After the weekend we should be ready to put the granite down on the counter tops. We had to completely reconfigure the counterst to fit a dishwasher and we all know how I want one. They had to be built up 2 1/2 ". Lucky for me my brother is the best carpenter in the world.

My daughter's prom is this weekend. I have had so much fun helping her prepare for it. I will post pictures next week. Our high school makes a huge deal out of post prom. We have spent months on it. Yesterday we tied together hundreds of parachutes and lifted them to cover the ceiling. It was awesome. Our theme this year is "Electric Avenue" . The entryway is a giant electrical receptacle. The kids will crawl through the hole in it and come out in total darkness. They will be filmed w/ a ultra red camera. They will find their way to a room full of strobe lights and fog. The walls are covered in fluorescent art some of it will be swirling. The next room will have disco lights and images of dancer silhouettes on the walls. When they come out there will TVs where they can laugh at their friends who are being filmed. There will also be a static electricity that makes your hair stand up on end. When the kids reach then end of the entryway they will be in the gym. They won't recognize it due to the parachutes. There will be food , games and lots of prizes for them. I can't wait. It's going to be fun.
