Homecoming 2009

This past weekend was homecoming at Chetek High School. It started by Joel & I taking off from work early in order to get up to the football field in time for kick off. I'm not sure how fun it was to sit in the rain, but it's just the stuff you have to do as parents. By half time, the Bulldogs were losing 0-15. The half-time show was fabulous (ok, my son was in it, so what can I say) The marching band played several Rolling Stone songs while the color guard twirled their flags. Let me say, I could differently see the difference in the training from South St Paul march band & Chetek. Jonathan was totally poised while the remainder of the band was, well.......not so much. The color guard was once again another story, Abby in her prime could out twirl them with her eyes blindfolded & hands tied behind her back (ok, so maybe not the hands tied behind the back) But all in all it was a very nice preformance. I alway did & do enjoying watching the marching band & color guard perform. After half time, the rain tappered off, but not quick enough to allow the Bulldogs a homecoming win.

Saturday we spent working in the garage, basement & storage locker trying to get things squared away in preparation for another garage sale. Pam & Steve came over to help & lend some company. At 6:42 pm, Jonathan decided he was going to the homecoming dance afterall with Cassie and it started at 7:30 pm........huh! I improvided & had him out by 7:45 pm! I was impressed with myself on that one.

Sunday was just another run around day. Up to Rice Lake to get the guys groceries for the week, some new winter clothes & supplies from Menards. Joel & I were out the door by 4:45 pm, so we could get home early enough to get to Menards in WSP to get a new closet door for Big Joe's old room & trim for Jonathan's room before they went off sale. Sheld came over to help Joel move the washer & dryer back into the laundry room after the new floor was dry.

I'll have to get pictures from my son from the festivities to post on the blog.........
