Homecoming 2015

 

We had a great Homecoming week!  I am in the "overachiever mom's" senior class so we moms had a busy week.  We practiced and performed a dance at the Homecoming Pep Rally, decorated a senior float for the parade, planned a senior bon fire and fed the football team and cheerleaders before the game! Part of the week's tradition is "rolling houses".  Our house had three attempted "hits".  The dogs ran off the first attempt and Preston and Ryan ran off the last attempt. The 2nd attempt was semi-successful :)
This year we had a formal dance and both boys went.  Both of them also escorted girls in the Homecoming court during the pep rally. They looked handsome and had a good time.
We won the football game BIG! It was 41-0 in the first quarter so needless to say Grant did not play much after that.  But he did get his 5th interception of the year.  After the game, the A Club put on a great fireworks show.
Here are some pictures of our week:

Usually paint names and numbers on main street but this year they had a circle to paint in in front of school

outdoor theater where they had music,pictures and then played the movie "Friday Night Lights"

It was also Senior Night so all seniors for fall sports were honored before the game

Grant making a tackle.  I missed his 5th interception of the year.  He ran it back about 15 yards to the 5.

Halftime

We won 55-8.  One of the coaches took this picture of Grant watching the fireworks show after his last regular season home game.  We are hoping for a home playoff game.  Big game next week!

 There are literally a hundred more pictures so I will post this and make a separate one for pictures from the dance.
Oh and in the middle of all of this fun, we bought a new van,,,,went with the 2016 Honda Odyssey. LOVED my old one but it was 15 yrs old and had 273000 miles on it.  We traded her in for one with all the bells and whistles!  It is a dark gray with lighter gray leather interior.  I am still learning what all the buttons do!  Pictures soon!!
