It's Homecoming Week!

Kori's BAGA has its biggest responsibility this week. They are in charge of Homecoming week, all of it!

This is a great group of kids!  They've been planning for Homecoming since they got put in last Spring.  There have been a lot of highs and very few lows.  So far, Homecoming is going very well, and Kori has been able to enjoy the week.  It's a HUGE job, but what a great experience for them!  Here's the lowdown on the week so far:

Monday:  In the morning BAGA presented the Homecoming assembly, and I forgot my camera!  D'oh!  It was awesome and they got tons of compliments on it.  Their movie, which has been the cause of some drama, was so cute and funny!  I'm hoping we get a copy or at least have it posted to Youtube.  After school  Clint played Humans Vs. Zombies.  I wish I had a picture of him with his arsenal!  He had taken every Nerf gun he owns with him.  They played for about 3 hours and Clint had a blast!  That was right up his alley!

Tuesday:  Movie on the field!  Kori said tons of kids came and they made quite a bit of money.  After the movie, BAGA painted the road.  It was a fun job, if long!  Kori didn't roll in until 1:30 am!  I should have taken pics before so many cars had driven over it, but here are the painted paws on the road:

Wednesday:  Homecoming parade and Mr. Sky View!  We hooked up with the Ulriches, Mikesells and Wallaces to watch the parade.  I just love this parade because I know so many of the kids, it's not a very long one, and it's in the evening so it's nice and cool and pleasant.  This year the BAGA and families stayed after to clean up the parade route.  Tootsie Rolls are very gross when they're smashed on the road!  Yuck!

Thursday:  As I'm typing this, Kori is up on SV hill putting up lights!  We are so happy that the SV is BACK!  Exec and BAGA put the stones back up over the summer, and they whitewashed it last week.  It looks so good!  BAGA wanted to light it up for Homecoming, so they have been doing a "buy a bulb" fundraiser.  They will light it up during halftime at the game on Friday, and then they will light it up for graduation and other special events.

We are excited for the game on Friday and the dance on Saturday!  Wes and I get to chaperone at the dance!!  Hopefully the rest of the week will continue to go well.  Great job Kori and BAGA!!  You guys need a well deserved good night's rest when this week is over!
