Daniel and I helped carpool Avery and Landon from dinner to the dance (then we went to dinner with friends to celebrate finally getting crazy Homecoming night started off without a hitch!), then she went to an after-party at her friend Lily's house and had a blast!
Aidan's class did a casino night before the dance, then after the dance they had an all-night party at a rec place. He came home and crashed for most of the day on Sunday!
One of the benefits of having the kids' Homecomings at the same time was that we got to use the fabulous WPA photographer Carol for Avery and her date Landon and their friends as well! Carol did NOT disappoint and the pictures of all the kids were so amazing. Aidan looked handsome - and had a beautiful date! Avery looked GORGEOUS and Landon was handsome as well! Avery was happy to get to see some of her WPA friends at pictures too. After that it was off to dinners, the dance, and after-parties!
The Patriots had an AMAZING Homecoming game and Aidan scored 3 touchdowns! All of his grandparents were there to see which was so special. He was recognized with the HoCo court at halftime. He didn't win king, but we are happy for King Layton and Queen Jacey! The team pulled out a great win, and the boys didn't know it at the time but it would be the last game they'd play at their home field.
Even though Aidan and Avery go to different high schools, their Homecomings fell on the same weekend this year which made for an incredibly busy but fun week! For Spirit Week, Aidan's "house" did Scooby Doo for Cartoon Day, and Clue for Board Game Day. On Friday he and Summer wore their mum and garter they had worked on together, and Aidan was also on the Homecoming Court this year! He was recognized for that at the pep rally, plus as a member of the football team.
Avery had Pajama Day, Adam Sandler Day (which fell on her birthday), Anything but a Backpack Day, and Frat Boy Day. Friday was Spirit Day and I found someone to make her the cutest overalls ever! The nicest boy asked her to Homecoming, so I got to meet him at the Sachse HoCo parade, and again at the pep rally (I literally dashed from Aidan's pep rally to hers!) .
