Eric's Homecoming Sept 2012

Eric asked Jayme Loveland to Homecoming this year.  The night before he asked her, he asked me if I had any post-it notes he could have.  I thought they were for one of his classes.  So I got him out a pack with different colors.  That day, after school, he said to me, "Well, I asked Jamie to the dance today."  HUH?  I'm telling you.....teenaged boys don't give many details to their mothers!  Apparently he had used the post-it notes to ask her to the dance.  He placed them all over her madrigal chair during class.....I must say that it was pretty creative.....and cheap!  :)  Maybe frugal is a better way to put it.  Whatever happened to the candy bar posters we used to make?

This picture was taken at Jamie's house.  I don't know why her dress looks blue.  It was purple....

And these were taken at our house.  Of course I make Eric bring the girl back so I can take pictures.  It's a mother's right, after all! :)

If you look real close, you can see a picture on the left side in a sunflower frame.  That is mine and Todd's engagement picture.  If you blow it up, you will find that Eric and Todd look almost exactly the same.....crazy!

So cute!  And I love my smiley cups in the background.  I love smileys!

This is a picture of her corsage.  See how it's purple?

During the day, a big group of Eric's friends (and their dates) went to Boondocks.  This ritual of "all day dance activities" is common place now.  It's not enough just to go out to dinner and to the dance, you have to be together for roughly 5.7 hours beforehand.   I don't know why Eric is the only one in this picture.  Jayme was there, I'm sure of it.

At dinner....Buca di Beppo's (what kind of a name is that, anyway?)

This picture was taken at Cottonwood high school.  It was during spirit week and this was 70's day.  This is what Eric does at school, when I'm not watching.....actually I would probably join in for this fun!  (It would be so embarrassing for Eric.....ooohhh, I would love that)!

The dance was a success and everyone had tons of fun!  Sometimes I just wish I could be a fly on the wall to these activities.....I wonder if there is a way to rig that.  If there is, I'll find it!  :)  Oh happy day!
