My last homecoming!!! And although it's Jacob's senior year it's his first homecoming!! So we had to buy him a suit, make a senior homecoming mum for his girlfriend, and ake a ton of pictures!!!!
A homecoming mum is a huge deal here in TX.....a senior's mum is made up of 3 large artifical white mum flowers, with a stuffed animal glued in the middle and a ton of white and silver and gold ribbons and chains and bells with toys and candy attached to the ribbons. It's suppose to be worn around the girls neck and flow down almost to the ground....of course most mums are too heavy to wear and the girls carry them around all day as a badge of honor proclaiming to the world "I have a date for homecoming!!!" They are costly and a lot of effort but it's the last time I have to work on one. Basically, for a month, I keep my eyes open for little treats and toys and candy that can be attached to the mum.....Jacob was picky. He got a few items as well but I bought and returned a lot of stuff, ha! The mum turned out great and his girlfriend as very happy.
The kids went to the football game on Friday night and then had the homecoming dance on Saturday.....they looked smashing!
