Homecoming 2010

As a teenager, I never went to a single football game.  I didn't attend Homecoming or Proms.
I'm really excited that my daughter was asked to Homecoming by her boyfriend.  After our last home game, while we were waiting for the buses to come pick us up to take us back to the high school, the band director let the kids borrow the microphone to ask their girlfriends to Homecoming.  I was pleasantly surprised to hear my daughter's boyfriend ask her if she'd go to Homecoming with him.   I yelled down the stairs "yes she will!", then sent her down to find him.  She said yes (of course!).  It was too cute!

So, fast foward a few weeks.  We've been dress shopping, figured out (somewhat) what to do with her hair and if she wants to makeup.  Then, tonight, her boyfriend brought her mum over.  It is gorgeous!  He made it with his mother and sister's help.  The mum is just beautiful!!  I really like it!
This is what he brought her:


 It has their graduating year, their names on the ribbons, stars, band-related things, football related things, a ribbon or two for the school and it says "Sophomore" (they both are).  
I really like it.

I haven't been familiar with mums because I never received one, but holy WOW!!!  I can say that I am truly impressed.   This mum is nearly as big as my daughter.  I'm not joking!  It'll hang around her neck and will JUST barely avoid hitting her feet!   Tomorrow I'll get a picture of her with it on. 
I can't wait!!

The band is going to get to wear their mums at the football game since it's Homecoming.  I'll get to hold her mum while she's marching.  I can give it back when she gets off the field.

Here are the kids:



He plays the trumpet, she plays the flute.
