Busy Busy Week...

Hey folks....it was a very busy week in this household!  Monday brought the start of Spirit Week and Homecoming celebrations.  I work with the Alumni Association for my school and helped to coordinate the Spirit Week festivities.  It was a lot of work, but it was so worth it!!  Each day had a different theme and the students who participated earned one point for their class...at the end of the week, the class with the most points win Homecoming!

Tuesday was Twin day.  Coach and I rocked it out!  We were definitely matching physical education teachers.  I thought it would be so amazing to wear wind pants to school for the whole day.  It was only ok...those suckers get hot!! However, it was cute to be twinning with my hubs!

Probably the best day of the week was Wednesday, which was  Superhero day.  The kids went all out!  They did a great job....I wish I had some pictures to show you, but I didn't get any :(  The week culminated in a pep rally - I was the MC.  It went well.  The kids were loud and really showed their school spirit.  We have to work on some things.  I don't know what it is, but these kids are lacking some spirit skills!

Unfortunately, Homecoming came to an end on Friday night in a really big loss for our football team.  We played Dexter, who we beat last year at their Homecoming.  They have a new coach and a new attitude!  They beat us...and I mean beat us 49-0.  So sad.  I feel the most bad for Coach...he is feeling pretty defeated.  I just remind him that he gives the kids the tools that they need and that he can't get out there and battle with them.  They have to put in the work and dedication.  They also need to keep fighting!  Sometimes, it is easier to give up...football is a game of finishing though.  You need to finish each tackle, finish each pass route, finish each play...you can't give up!!  Hopefully, this coming week games will prove successful for us!

Homecoming King and Queen!

Fan Tunnel

The highlight of Homecoming week for me was the students enthusiasm.  On Friday after school, I stayed and helped the classes put their floats together for the parade.  The Homecoming King and Queen got to ride in the front of the parade in and awesome Mustang convertible.  I am pretty sure they enjoyed the experience of leading he parade in a totally BOSS ride!  We had a really large parade this year.  All the classes had their own floats and then a bunch of the schools clubs joined in on the fun!  The football team joined the end of the parade and were escorted to the field by a police car.  All of the people who walked, created a fan tunnel for the team to run through.  Call me a geek, but I love the click-clack of cleats on the pavement...gives me chills!

The cheerleaders went wild with the decorations around the field for the Friday night game.  They had all sorts of balloons and even decorated the fence with Coach's motto: Be the Hammer.  Even though the game did not work out for us, I truly do feel like we came together as a school to support one another during Spirit/Homecoming Week.  It was a lot of work organizing and coordinating, but it was well worth it!

Be the Hammer!

I have a lot to catch you up on!  Now that I feel like I have a moment to breath, I can do that!  My next post will feature the "new" kitchen and a yummy recipe that is a family favorite!
