Lauren went to her school homecoming with a fun group of kids. She said she had a great time. It is tradition here in Texas that the girls and boys wear big huge mums on the friday of the football game. This was Laurens first time to get a mum, it was funny to me a first, they are so big that you have to wear them around your neck if you are a girl and on your arm as a garter as a guy. It seems like the thing to do is get them as big as possible if you like that kind of thing. Lauren's was a medium size, she likes things a bit more conservative. For the dance, her group decided to go dressed up as characters from movies. The boy to her character was Zoolander and she was the secretary, that is why he looks a little funny, but it worked for him cause he is a funny guy. I was extremely proud of Lauren for her dress choice, she went with a very adorable and modest dress. I can't believe what girls where to dances these days, so low cut and short. Lauren has her standards and didn't wish to compromise them, what a girl!!!
Halloween was fun, it seemed to last all weekend. My older kids chose to not treat or treat this year. Lauren took Ashlen to a few houses on the street, but since it was on a sunday I just really wanted them closer to home. Austen and two of his friends dressed up scary and tried to scare kids that came to the door. A few times they got kids pretty good, next year we need to really spook it up.
