Finishing touches . . .

to Homecoming 2010.

Its funny how the final accessory makes the outfit complete.

We opted to go with simple and traditional this year because the kids were wearing black/white. However, when I picked up the flowers I couldn't help but check out all the elaborate / ornate / exquisite bouquets of flowers and immediately began to question that decision.
I had to remind myself that:
1) my daughter wouldn't want a stack of flowers like a bride,
beautiful as they may be, because she would worry about misplacing them the whole evening;
and 2) it just wasn't her style.

While I was not so impressed with the boutineer made for her date (it was tiny, TINY I tell ya), it matched glitter to glitter to her corsage, so it was all good. Once the kids got dressed and after several attempts at stabbing my son, the finishing touches were made to their attire and all was right with the world.
She had a wonderful time at her Senior Homecoming
and He can't wait until the next dance.
(gotta get all the mileage out of that monkey suit we can before he out-grows it!).
