Brandon asked a girl to Homecoming!

Brandon asked a girl to Homecoming!  And she said Yes (of course)!  He had a really cute idea to ask her....this is what he did.

First we copied a picture of Brandon when he was in 1st grade.  Then we printed out a "puzzle template," so we could cut it up.  We glued them together and then we laminated it.  Here is the front.  (Oh my gosh, he was so cute!)

And here's the back...

I started to cut it into pieces, but it was really hard because it was so thick and the pieces were so tiny.  So I made another copy of Brandon's picture and then just cut it up into regular little squares.  That was much easier.

Then we put all of the pieces into a little baggie and attached a note.

This is what the note said....(and by the way, Brandon made this up himself.  I thought it was really clever).  We decided to use a young picture of him so it would be harder for the girl to guess who was asking.  It worked pretty well, because she had no idea who it was.  I thought he looked just like his 1st grade picture, don't you think?  :)

A few days later, Brandon opened his locker and found this inside.

There were tons of balloons and inside each one of them was a message, like "keep looking," "not this one," etc.

He had to pop a lot of balloons until he got to her answer...

And here it is...

So cute!  Way to go Brandon.  I hope you have fun on your date!
