Braxton surprised Millie one night (during the first week of school -- the same week that she was very ill) by delivering her a Frappuccino with a question written on it. "Homecoming?"
Sweet. Simple. And to the point.
Of course, she said, "Yes!"
I certainly hope that my daughter doesn't mind that I stole her Frap picture to use on my blog. I did not ask permission.
Okay, before you read any further, for those who are uninitiated as to what homecoming in Texas is all about, please refer to last year's homecoming blog post: Texification or MUMmification?
Or you might want to look here for more mum details: Homecoming
The real fun began when Millie started gathering supplies for Braxton's homecoming garter. I made a trip to the "mum" store without my girl, but after she started feeling better, we went together to Hobby Lobby to find a few more trinkets and do-dads. Since B. is a baseball player, she decided to outfit a bear as a ballplayer to add to the center of his mum.
Even though that girl o' mine had a temperature of ±103º F, she worked feverishly to make a ball cap and uniform to represent her favorite Keller Indians baseball player, #11. It's definitely challenging to find baseball decor when it is football season, but we managed to find Christmas ornaments that had a baseball theme. Thanks to our resident handyman, who made some fancy cuts with his Dremel tool, Millie had a bat, ball and glove cut out of a resin ornament. After a little touch-up paint, we were ready to play ball.
Here's the finished product -- too cute!
Here's how my mostest favorite KHS sophomore couple looked before heading off to the game. They are a good looking duo.
And they are obviously loaded with school spirit!
