Shorewood Homecoming 2022

 Homecoming festivities were really fun this year.  I took Friday off for labs, Sarah's birthday, and the HOCO assembly.  (It was almost 2 hours of skits and dancing. Pretty fun stuff.) 

Libby danced in the assembly with drill, and was one of the narrators in the sophomore class skit.  Since I was a total nobody in HS, I love how involved she is.  Some of Derek's wrestlers were in the Homecoming Court.  Really fun.

Then, we went to the game planning to get trashed by the #2 team in the division. AND WE WON! including a pick six for a 100 yard touchdown.  It was AMAZING.  

On Saturday, I had offered to make dinner for Libby's friends.  Ben was the waiter.  Sarah hung out with Buddy at Maren's so we could have peace.  (And it was so peaceful.). The number of people who would be coming wavered until literally dinner was 2/3 over when the last guest showed up.  These kids have a hard time making up their minds.  But I enjoyed playing chef and photographer.  Ben ended up being invited to the table and to play games with them until it was time to leave (also, we kept stopping to check in on the Mariners who were in the 18th inning as we finished dinner--and then they lost.)

Libby said the dance was pretty fun.  Overall a fun night.  It was tricky because most other people had dates, but she ended up eating with one guy who's date went to eat with other people.  So who can keep track.

Okay: Photo dump.  I pulled a few of these from FB from Kristi Lin and Chloe, the drill advisor.

More cricut fun! And we ran one through the dishwasher and it stayed! Permanent adhesive + dollar store glasses for the win. I gave all the kids one as a souvenir. 

My fav pic.


1/2 Time Show! 

Sarah went to the game with friends.  Maren and I watched (and Ben joined us for the end--after his friends left.) Such a fun weekend.  I'm pretty beat!
