The clock struck 6:30 as we began our preparation for the ball. I combed my hair and put on lip gloss. I helped him put his socks on and made sure his velcroed shoes were fastened securely.
We exited our chariot at 7pm sharp. The other queens, princes and princesses arrived then as well. Some more decked out than others. All the princesses more flouncy gowns and tiaras. The princes came in plain clothes.
The royal ball committee had outdone themselves. There were hand-made crowns for the queens, along with corsages and custom-painted clay pots with flowers. There were delightful little cakes and tea. There were stories about princesses and princes. And songs about Moms.
As the clock struck 8, the ball concluded with a dance. All the royals danced in a circle before collecting coats from their cubbies.
It was Moms' night at preschool, and my young prince and I had a grand time.
Charming, as I am sure was the prince.

And you didn't have to worry about anyone or anything turning into a pumpkin at midnight!
I'm glad you had a lovely time, Marie!
