Homecoming Week, Yearbooks, ER's and Tommy!

Whew...we just completed a whirlwind week.

Homecoming!  Non-stop activities, dress up day, football games,  intramurals, handing out of the yearbooks, a parade, a pep rally....and a dance.  AND to top it off, Tommy flew home on Friday night for the weekend.  I just got home from running him to the airport.

Here are a few pictures from it all....more than a few!

Class color day...Blue, pink and orange!

 Dress like your parent day...pretty sure they nailed their Dad's look in these!

 Farm dress up day had Drew digging up Scott's old FFA jacket and OSU belt buckle.   He won that day for his class as best dressed.  

 Farm Dress up day...corn from the Shisler farm and Wayne County Fair ribbons...Max won in his class.  I can't say that his classmate Miah looks all that thrilled.

 Jack had a JV game on Monday night.  He plays center #71

 Generation day...Jack had the 60's so he was representing with Speed Racer!

 Max had Hat day and opted for the Sombrero.  

 Volleyball intramurals, Drew played for the senior boys and was an excellent asset to his team.  Being 6'4 and athletic certainly did not hurt.  They won!

Drew was also one of the Coaches for the girls powderpuff team.  They also won the championship.  I love how the seniors prayed before their game.  THIS is the stuff that matters. 

On Thursday, we passed out the 2016-17 yearbooks!  We pass them out in the fall so that we can include graduation and summer sports in it!  It is a labor to orchestrate this all year long as the advisor.  I am doing it again this year, but this will be my last.  I have been doing it for 4 years and I will be retiring. 

 Scott drove the boys' truck in the parade carrying football players and managers.  Jack rode in the front with him.  

look in the bottom right hand corner of this shot...the joy of being in a small school that K-12 is together and little brothers can join big brothers center court as they emcee.  

 Drew was the emcee of the pep rally after the parade....

 Someone may need to tell Max that he is NOT a senior, therefore he does NOT need to run out for the spirit trophy that they won Homecoming week...lol.

 ..and again Max with the seniors.  Class of 2018

grabbed this guy for a quick pic at the end of the rally

The game was canceled on Friday night due to weather and then rescheduled for Saturday, where the weather ended up being even worse.  Max and I used my "Yearbook Press Pass" as an excuse to stay warm in the press box.  The announcer is a friend of ours and let Max help some.  He loved it and I loved being warm. 

Our sweet friend Morgan Durick was crowned Homecoming Queen, I loved being on the field to capture photos for the yearbook...and for her Mom.  

And finally...the dance.  Jack went with a group of friends.  No date.  He had a fun time.  He did tell me that the dance was "over rated" but he had fun going out to dinner with friends and then he had a few friends over after the dance to spend the night.  

Drew and the senior guys....

 Drew and some of his best girl friends in the senior class.  He has taken 3 of these girls as dates to dances. :)  

 The seniors decided to rent a party bus and do a progressive dinner this year.  No one took dates and they went from house to house eating....it was so much fun.  A bit challenging to get photos of that large of a group.  But it was worth it.

Sunday night was going to be a night to rest, until Max slammed his hand in the car door.  Bloody and screaming we went to the ER...gratefully his hand was NOT broken and they glued the cut vs stitches.  So 2 hours later we were back home.  Max always wants Bear and his Jackie when he is hurt.  

 Monday, NO SCHOOL...so Chick-fil-A at the mall.  

Monday night Jack had his last JV game and Tommy got to see him play!  Love having all of my people in ONE place!

Whew...it was a crazy weekend.  But filled with so much FUN!
