Homecoming Dance

So the kids, many of them came to our house for pre Homecoming picture taking. First picture is daughter and her date.

Many of those that showed for pictures.....

Daughter and "other best friend" cracking up.

Pinky promise to be friends forever.

I'm giving the speech that included statistics on teenage deaths from drinking and driving.

Teenage romance. :O

The girls hanging out at the Homecoming.

Showing off their nail jobs.

Daughter and her escort being introduced. When they were introduced the football team chanted "Water bug, Water bug, Water bug. Yeah!" (Water bug is her nickname) It was awesome. ( Parents of court members were invited to come at 10p.m. for the crowning. Of course I came.)

They announced 2nd runner up, representing band, .........then first runner up representing NAACP, Mariah (daughters very best friend)........"and your 2010 Homecoming Queen     IS,         representing The Cheerleading squad......(daughters name!)

Daughter being hugged. I was jumping up and down a little :O) and clapping......... daughter looked at me with tears in her eyes and mouthed the words "don't cry...I mouthed the word "okay".... I cried  anyway.....then she did too.....:O)

It has been a very memorable weekend. Especially for daughter.                               So                                 YAY!

P.S. The truck delivering the decorations and the crowns for the Homecoming hasn't shown up yet, and the DJ was late..............................but the school still managed to pull it off. When I came in at 10 p.m. the kids seemed to be having a blast!
