The Answer Is....

 This is as crafty as he has been since Cub Scouts!

 The note says: "With BAIT like that.....(and on the back) I'm HOOKED!"  We tried to keep with the fish theme.

The bowl she brought the fish in--they only lived two days...we are hard on fish around here...is filled with gummy worms and his note with several worms on actual fish hooks and the hook strings are tied with a ribbon to the card.

Since Genius Golfer was in charge of FHE last night, he opted to make answering Briana for The Boy our FHE activity.  I can pretty much guarantee that The Boy will answer his date invitations sooner next time.

Homecoming 2013

This year it was The Boy's turn to try the Homecoming dance with a date.  He asked a girl that worked at the pool all summer and he was pretty excited, to be honest.  He went with four other good buddies and their dates.  Because of some rain we didn't expect, the photos of the couples and the group in the park--as was planned--gave way to Plan B which was photos in our front room.

 Ben and Emily...

 Ashton and Savannah...

 The Boy and Kylee....

 Sam and Jenna...

 Collin and Tristan...

 The whole lovely group...

Who had a GREAT time together!

Homecoming 2012

It was Homecoming weekend here this past weekend.  The Girl was asked by a friend she's been in school with since kindergarten.  He is very fun!!

 Good friend, Marina and Hannah P came over early and did The Girl's hair and consulted on the make-up.  Dressy, but casual.  Just the way I like it!

 Did you know they make magnetic boutineers now?  Yes.  They do. Brilliant!

 So much easier than maneuvering those blasted big pins!

 And whomever invented the wrist corsage was also a genius!

 So much easier!

 Smiles started right from the start with the ease of floral gifts exchanged by the dates....

 Good friends make this kind of date a fun and friendly event!

 And being comfortable in your own skin (and clothes) helps too!

They looked great and sounds like they had a great time together.  And kudos to the group of boys (all of whom are int he same ward) who planned their date together--and asked girls that already knew each other (they all worked together at the pool this summer) so the girls knew everyone and everyone was already friends...brilliant planning, boys!!
