This past week was Homecoming week. It was our first year to really be involved in all the fun of the week, since Kayla is now a freshman. It was fun. Memories were made. It wore this mom plum out. Of course I had to take a few pictures of each day. Here are just a few of the hundred plus pictures taken during the week.
MONDAY:
It was dress up as a cartoon character day. We didn't put much money or planning into this one. She put on an old princess dress she had from a previous year, got a black wig to be different and decided to either be "Mother Gothel from Tangled" or a black haired princess of some sorts. After wearing the black wig for the day, I finally convinced her that she would not look good with black hair. (You know how you always wish, as a teenager, for what you don't have...) I personally like her blonde curls.
TUESDAY:
Duct tape/trash bag day. We made a shirt late Monday night. I thought it turned out cute for a couple of hours work. You should have seen all the creative outfits at school...WOW!
WEDNESDAY:
Battle of the classes day. Kayla's freshman shirt. CUTE!
THURSDAY:
Blue and white day (school colors). She painted a shirt, an old pair of jeans and a friend even painted her hair at school.
She played at the bonfire. (A friend took this picture for me.)
FRIDAY:
Dress up day. Wear your church clothes.
FRIDAY NIGHT:
Game time. My girl marched and played her heart out. Isn't she cute in her hat?
The last picture of the night. My babies. Oh how I love them to pieces. I am blessed.
What did you do last week?
You might get tired of the band pictures, but that is where I am in life right now...smack dab in the middle of band season. Kayla is in high school band this year. It is exciting, fun, hard and stressful. The roller coaster of emotions that band is causing my baby girl this year, is certainly keeping this mom on her toes. Her brother, who is in seventh grade, is in advanced band, which means he plays trumpet at the junior high games with the 8th grade. I have had to work concession stand the two games he played, but I will have to get pictures of him soon. Any given night, you can hear the music of "Bon Jovi" (high school band music) coming from the living room and "Thriller" (junior high music) coming from the kitchen. CRAZY!!! From working concession stand, to watching football, to listening to the halftime shows, we are wrapped up in the football/band season. Hating and loving every minute of it at the same time!!! :)
Till next week...
My little girl marched in her first parade as a member of the high school band. She was so nervous. However, she did a great job. The Fair was in town, so of course in the south, you have to have a parade. The family all showed up to watch our blonde headed flute player.
