Wednesday, October 18, 2006Homecoming Dance  Saturday was the Homecoming dance at the high school. This too is done whole hog--no half-measures here. The girls spend all day preparing and making a party out of it. They go as a group for "up-dos" at the local salons. They either do make-up for each other or hire it done. They have nails and toes beautified. The boys? They hop in the shower 30 minutes before it is time to leave, throw on their suit and their done. Ha! The couples then meet at a designated location for a "picture party." Now, I love this because all the mamas and the papas get to come take photos of their offspring. This is particularly nice for the parents of boys who often were left out of this part of the ritual. (As you can see, the kids take themselves quite seriously. ;-))  After the picture party, the group of kids go out to eat, go to the dance, then meet for an after-dance celebration (usually at somebody's home). Our daughter slept until 3:00 the next afternoon!

No offense, but you're lookin' a little short and underdressed there, mom! Pretty snazzy kids there. How do they decide whether to wear short or long dresses--personal preference or other reason?

I'm definitely the runt of the litter and I live in my blue jeans. Even go to church in them, I'm afraid.
Long dresses are a must for prom and optional for homecoming. Most girls wear cocktail dresses to homecoming, but it is definitely personal preference (or whatever dresses your best friend happens to have hanging in her closet). ;-)

Love the stairstep picture: mom, daughter, and dad. The other picture is great, too. No shortage of fun there!

Will they keep their dresses now that it's all over, or sell them?

Hi, Dee. Hey, I just posted a comment, but I think it will appear under the 'busy weekend' blog instead of the 'homecoming dance' blog as I had intended. Just thought I'd let you know I goofed. Have a great day, everybody!
