HOCO Proposal

We had a weekend of firsts, both the boys and myself. Friday night Casen had his first choir social at Main Event He had a great time eating pizza, playing video games and bowling with his friends.

We picked him up a tad early from the social so we could head out to the Tomball Memorial Football game. Shane and the boys had been to a game, but this was my first one. It was fun sitting under the Friday night lights, watching football and visiting with friends.

Camden has been talking to a cute girl, Sienna, who actually took it upon herself to come up and introduce herself to me at the football game. He decided a few weeks ago that he was going to ask her to Homecoming, and we have been trying to come up with a 'proposal' that would fit her. Apparently she enjoys playing golf and is wanting to join the golf team next year. So, with the help of the internet, (since I lack any type of creativity), we went with a golf theme. I spent time Thursday night placing the letters on the poster and gave Camden the task of creating the green, hole and flag which he did on Saturday while I was at my friend Tiffany's house working on the homecoming mum. (Obviously we were hopeful she was going to say yes!)

In the midst of working on the mum, Camden texted me and asked me to drive him over to Sienna's house so he could present his HOCO proposal. He seemed calm, but I was nervous for him. He did a great job. Sienna answered the door, along with her mom and brother. It was very sweet! And fortunately she did say Yes!!

Camden and myself

After the proposal, I dropped Camden back off at home so I could head back to Tiffany's to continue working on the mum. Casen decided he wanted to go with me, and was a great helper! We have known Tiffany and her family for several years as we have gone to church together and Tiffany's son and Camden are in the same grade and her daughter and Casen are in the same grade. Tiffany is very creative and has made mums in the past. Fortunately, she has graciously opened her house up to several of us moms who have no idea what we are doing and is guiding us along the way. 

On Sunday, we enjoyed watching Camden play some soccer at Creekside Park.

 

Despite working on the mum for 10 hours on Saturday, it looks like I will be spending any opportunity I have this coming week working on Sienna's mum in preparation for Homecoming.
