This was homecoming week at the local high school here, and my son has been very busy.  Each day this past week was dress up day of some sort.  School colors day, favorite sports team shirt day, 80's day and so on.  Thursday was career or job day.  The kids were supposed to dress up in clothes that represented a certain job. My son decided to dress up as the high school principal.  As a result my redheaded son left for school looking like this!   I couldn't look at him without laughing. He didn't smile for the picture because he was trying to look more like the principal.  The principal loved it, and so did the other students. He also spent every night this week helping his class build their homecoming float. They made a float that said "Rock the Patriots."  Our school mascot is a bear which I'm not sure you'll be able to tell from these pictures.  The opposing team's mascot from last night's game was a Patriot, of course. That's a bear playi...

It has been Homecoming Week all this week at my son's high school. They had special events scheduled for each day. Every day had a different theme for dress up. One of the days the theme was "Cowboys and Indians." My son didn't have much in the way of clothing that looked like cowboy gear, but he decided that this hat would work well enough. His girlfriend, dressed in a former Halloween costume as an Indian, was cute as could be, I thought . Last night was the big football game, of course, which our team won to the delight of the large local crowd. Tonight is the big Homecoming Dance. My son and his girlfriend got all dressed up for the dance. Their excitement was contagious. It made me wish I was the one getting all dressed up to go out dancing. He's fifteen and half years old. He will be able to start driver's training next month. * * * * * Aw gee, where did the time go. How did it go by so fast?
