A high school senior was named homecoming queen on Friday... then set down the crown to put on her football pads and kicked a game-winning extra point.
Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield did their best with the source material on five Spider-Man movies, but it looks like we are getting the "definitive" version of Spider-Man now. And the coolest thing? We didn't even ask for this edition ...
Let me explain.
Remember that nervousness you felt when you first got to high school? Well, if you're the parent of freshman, you get to feel it all over again!
You want your kids to learn lots and have fun, but you know they'll face obstacles and perils along the way...
School's back, so that means high school dances are at the forefront of the minds of teenagers. Who will I take? How will I ask them?
My son Benjamin asked his girlfriend Hailey by blowing up 15 bags of balloons (with help from Hailey's sister), putting them in her bedroom and hiding in them...
My son Mathew decided at the last minute to go to Homecoming. This was how he told me -
Really!!!??? I'm going to Homecoming so do whatever it is you do. Of course, my husband and girlfriend's thought it was so hilarious!
That's probably going to be how he tells me he's engaged...
My son Benjamin came up with the creative plan of having the Mayor of Yakima, Micah Cawley ask the girl he would like to go to Homecoming with at Naches.
My son Benjamin went to his High School Homecoming a couple weeks ago in Naches. It was his first real date and I had tried to prep him with everything he needed to know to be a gentlemen. Example: Open the car door and any door for your date, help her with her coat, (if she has one) and tip the waiter or waitress...
My son Benjamin went to his first Homecoming over the weekend at Naches. All the kids were so excited ... it was so cute! (I have to admitt that many parents were also excited ... myself being one of them.)
When I saw Benjamin all dressed up I had to keep back the tears...
One son down and one to go! My 9th grader has a date for Homecoming, now to find my 10th grader a date. Mathew is pretty quiet, so I'm hoping that maybe a girl will ask him to Homecoming. I know this is non traditional, but it maybe the only way that he goes to Homecoming...
My son, Benjamin wanted to ask a girl to Homecoming. He wanted a unique way other than the usual, which is just walking up to the girl and asking her, "Will you go to Homecoming with me?"
Some of his friends have come up with some unique ways to ask the girls...
