Three Kids and a Dog: Homecoming 2024

Homecoming week was almost a week ago and I feel like I'm still recovering! Not so much from Austen's preparations because boys are easy but having a girl is a whole different story when it comes to Homecoming. And, having one who is a cheerleader during Homecoming is even more work.

Last week, there was a lot of cheerleading practice in preparation for the Homecoming game and the parade that she had to walk in the day of Homecoming. So it was challenging to get in all of these appointments that these girls "must" have for Homecoming like nails and hair and don't forget the spray tan which had to be done when she wasn't going to sweat during a cheer practice.

Anyway, it all worked out and Peyton's date (and his mom) planned a great evening for them complete with pictures at a country club then off in a private car to dinner at an Italian restaurant then the car would take them to the dance where they danced the night away for a few hours before heading to an after party.

It was a very nice first Homecoming experience for Peyton and I think she is very glad she decided to say yes to a boy and go with him (and a few friends) instead of with just her girlfriends.

Austen, on the other hand, did decide to go with a bunch of guy friends (although he's told me he's already working on a date for prom), and his plans were changing by the minute so we left him and went with Peyton to all of her activities. We did manage to get a picture of him though and he said he had fun at his before and after parties (he did not go to the dance and hasn't really since Freshman year - well, maybe you count the 10 minutes he went in sophomore year).

That's a wrap on Homecoming 2024!
