Homecoming

Tomorrow is Ally's first Homecoming. She is going to be in the parade, then go to the football game, then we'll spend an hour on her hair (she has a lot of hair and she wants spiral curls) and then I think we have her boyfriend and some friends coming over for pictures before heading off to the dance.

I am borrowing my in-laws' suburban-it's one of the nice, brand new ones so I can tote all these kids around.

And apparently after the dance, we are having quite a few teenagers come back here.

To our house.

While on one hand I am very happy that she wants to have a party here, I really don't know what to do with all of them.

I mean, what do you do after a dance?

See, after all my dances I got drunk. The very first time I ever drank was after my first Homecoming dance.

I never went to after parties where there would be chaperones.

So I'm at a loss.

I just figured I'll buy some junk food and let them rent some movies. We were going to do a bon fire but it's too dry-we're in a drought and living in the woods like we do, a wildfire is totally possible.

I'll be back in a few days with pictures.

I'm with you ... I'd be at a loss as well. Drinking and spin the bottle were what we did after our dances ...

Good luck! I'll be interested to read how it all turned out!!

Rather you than me mate, I have had my fill of bloody teenagers and the mess/noise/sleepless nights they cause! Hope you come out the other side of the weekend intact and still sane!
