A Father Daughter Dance ... In Sneakers, What Else?

Tonight I am left alone while my daughters, age 9 (in two weeks!) and 11 are at a Father/Daughter dance sponsored by the Girl Scouts.

When I was young, I remember that girls and fathers would dress up for these events, but this does not seem to be the case for this shindig.  Hubby went off in a taupey sort-of-Hawaiiany shirt with chino shorts. Younger daughter, the girlier-girl in a hip-hop black and hot pink ensemble, and my oldest, in a Tee and a pair of shorts, with sneakers, natch. (Dress code for the night was apparently shorts).

Of course I wanted to dress them up like pretty dolls, but even getting their hair brushed appropriately is a challenge.  Oh well, just glad that the girls and their Dad can create this special memory together!
