Homecoming Date?

 Hubby looked so handsome heading off to the Homecoming Dance.

I, of course, stayed home with our crew of children too young for the homecoming dance... and Howard asked Daddy who his date was.

Homecoming Game and Parade

 Homecoming game and parade!

Panther Day!

 Homecoming Thursday PANTHER DAY!

We are exhausted... and we still have homecoming activities all day tomorrow.

Homecoming Wednesday

 The homecoming theme is cruising through the decades, so Wednesday was decades day.

The high schooler grades were each assigned a decade, but the elementary students were allowed to choose any decades -- which I greatly appreciated.

Tracey dressed up like the 80s -- she wanted "the decade with the neon clothes"

Howard dressed up like the 70s -- like a man in the military.  I tried to explain that in the 1970s we were at war in Vietnam, and he corrected me.  "I'm fighting for American, Mama."

Caroline dressed up like a girl from the 90s -- in one of my old dresses from the 90s... circa 1994 if I had to guess.  The curls and side ponytail really sold it.

Lee Lee dressed up like a girl from the 80s -- in one of my old dresses from the 80s... circa 1989 if I had to guess. 

Mama dressed up like the 1950s.

Hunter and Brady went with festive Halloween shirts.

Spirit Week

 This past week was Spirit week our kiddos' Elementary School, which is so much fun in our house.  For as much as I DO NOT LIKE school picture day, I really like school spirit week.  We plan out our outfits for the week, and even our little ones who don't attend elementary school, and Mama and Daddy try to participate.  It is a fun break in the monotony.

In the case of this week, it was especially fun that it coincided with the first week of October.  The calendar changed and our children immediately gear up for Halloween -- and with Spirit week, they are able to start the month by dressing up a little even though Halloween isn't until the end of the month.

Monday was Pajama Day

Tuesday - Super Hero Day! (Howard had to stay home sick)

Wednesday - Wacky Clothes Day (Caroline had to stay home sick)

Thursday - Blue and Gold Day for the high school football team!
