Daisy and I spent time mumming at Cougar Corner this fall. I volunteered to make mums for students in general, and Daisy made her own. I still think they are the most ridonky-donk thing ever. Even though I swore I would never buy them for my kids, here we are.
I also made one for my senior boy.
I'm not a native Texan, but my children are native mum-wearing Texans. So there's that.
Homecoming was full of Zeke and Daisy marching in the parade, leading the pep rally, performing at the game, and then dancing the night away.
Friday morning I used the Swag Wag to shuttle cheerleaders, band kids and ROTC kids to a nearby church, where they were fed pizza by Cougar Pride Alliance.
Then came the parade.
Because the temps are still in the upper 90s, Miss Hinds asked me to follow right behind the parade just in case anyone became too hot and needed a ride back to school. So Gloria and I were part of the parade, too.
Next Zeke and Daisy led the pep rally.
The last activity of Friday was the game.
Daisy is helping the band with their halftime performance by playing the synthesizer. That means she is in the pit, playing next to Zeke.
The dance was on Saturday. These two clean up pretty well.
I caught Zeke with his friends making plans after the dance while I was cleaning up.
This guy couldn't care less about homecoming.
Daisy's friend Haley got ready with her. This picture was taken right outside of school when I dropped them off.
Daisy will say I'm doing her dirty by posting this, but this is her with some friends during the dance.
Great memories were made at Homecoming 2023.
