Hammer goes to Prom

 Dear Hammer, 

Your friend got asked to Prom and he really wanted you to go too so he would know someone in the group. It took a little bit of communicating between friends but then you decided to ask your friend Danika. Here is your poster to ask:

And her answer:
This is another friend who dressed up with you to give an elaborate Yes answer to your first friend’s prom date:
Here’s your day date group:
I made you a corsage, with Lulu’s help over the phone:
Then it was the dance day! You were excited:

Here are the pictures that another friend’s parents took:





You had a lot of fun at dinner at one of the girls’ house. Here are your pictures from the Capitol:







You said the dance music was really loud and there were only like 2 slow dances, but you had a lot of fun. It made me happy to see you enjoy Prom. 

Love, Mom

We babysat lots of dogs, and Dad hired you boys to move lots of dirt from our neighbor’s yard into ours:
And that’s a wrap for March!
