Homecoming. It happened.

1441484_10202389860410392_1300629034_nI love how much the internet loves my kids. After my last post about Jack attending his first Homecoming dance, and several posts on Facebook the day off…I have received A LOT of messages, emails and tweets from people who genuinely wanted to know how his big night went.

At just about the last minute, he asked me to drive him and his date. So I was able to go meet his awesome date, her parents, and a large group of his friends that all went dinner together. While they had dinner at a modest (affordable to teens) restaurant, I shopped at a nearby mall and mainly resisted spying on him. And I was there as they got into my car giggling and laughing at the end of the night. His date carrying her shoes, talking about her girlfriend’s dance drama  and how much fun they had.

I am not gonna lie folks…this was a parenting HIGH.

 

But today, when I saw Jack had picked up his dance photos, and had Instagramed one…. I decided to let this image speak for itself…..

  He wasn’t in the best mood. He told me he was excited to wear his new vintage bow tie, but he also  tried to convince me that ‘a lot of the kids weren’t even going to the promotion ceremony’…but I was on to him. And off we went. As we approached the auditorium, he [...]

Which was necessary after two delicious brunches this weekend and many cocktails.   Egg decorating, that was incredibly fun and competitive. Ultimately The Husband won with this modern simplistic egg that both represented our county and had wonderful [...]

Off if Hwy 15 on the way from Orange County out to the high desert (and on to Las Vegas, Nevada) is a wonderful piece of history that is not to be missed. I first came to Calico Ghost Town over 30 years ago- and it has changed a bit- but the original, historical buildings [...]
