Uninvited

Jordan and I were going to see a movie Saturday night. I was looking forward to it not only because there are a couple movies I want to see right now, but also because Jordan was willing to hang out with me. When I was done dropping Dev off at his concert Jordan called to say that she invited one of her friends and is that okay. Sure, fine by me. Then I get another call that more friends have been invited and there are at least two girls going. Great, guess I'm not because what group of three teenage girls wants to go to the movies, on a Saturday night, with a mom. No movie for me. Oh, but I did get to play taxi all night and pick up the girls, drop them off at the theater, and then take them home again before heading into Nashville to pick up Devan from his concert at Rocketown. There was a battle of the bands going on and a bunch of kids from his school were going. There were something like 12 bands there and it was a whopping $8 to get in. :) Devan had a great time and even got himself a free CD by climbing up onto the stage the fastest.

Friday night Devan had his 8th grade formal dance. It's not really "formal" but the boys wore suits or nice dress shirts and the girls wore nice dresses. Devan didn't want to go the suit route because why spend the money if he's not going to wear it again. He chose a long sleeved dress shirt underneath a vest. He looked really good. I will post pictures later. He met up with this girl he has a crush on and she told him he looked really nice. It always means more coming from someone your own age rather than your mother who is supposed to tell you how nice you look. I guess kids think that compliments are in the parent handbook. If only there was a handbook.;-)
