Three Kids and a Dog: HoCo 2026

Junior year homecoming is in the books for Peyton. These high school years are just flying by for Peyton but not fast enough as she still can't wait til she gets to college.

Peyton & Luke

Still, she was able to enjoy a fun week of HoCo prep with her friends - spray tan, nails, football game. Finally, it was Saturday and the Homecoming parade was canceled due to the rainy weather we were having. Then pictures at the club were canceled due to flooding so they had to pivot. Luckily, one of my friends offered for all the kids and parents to come to her house. That doesn't seem like much but there were like 40 kids in the group plus parents! We all sprang into action to help her host that many people in a short amount of time.

Luckily, we had a little break in the downpour so we were able to get some pictures outside. The kids then got into their limos to take them to Capri for dinner. Peyton said she was so full but the food was really good. They then went to the dance for about an hour (I'm surprised they still went to the dance since so many don't go after freshman year). They then headed back to houses to change for the after part(ies). But she was home just before 1pm and said it was really fun.

Meanwhile, we Door Dashed Hailey some food (I almost had her Cane's go to Austen's fraternity since our Door Dash app is set to him) and went to our club for dinner with our friends (who were at the pictures). Fun night for parents and kids alike. (Hailey was even happy because she got her favorite home and the Blackhawks were on TV for their first preseason game.)

One more HoCo to go til Peyton graduates! Then we'll run it back for the next four years for Hailey!
