The invitation

We've discovered there are a lot of traditions surrounding Homecoming weekend here in Texas. This is the invitation that Maddie got to the dance (I think Wes had more than a little help from his Mom and big sister putting it together.) We've also gotten a garter for Wes - it's this huge ribbon flower thing that goes around the arm, with all sorts of stuff attached to it. The kids wear them on the Friday of homecoming. The girls get mums (also huge ribbon flower things that are pinned on). At Maddie's school there's a tradition of wearing overalls that Friday, probably so that the huge mum has something sturdy to be attached to. We've obtained those and are almost ready for the big weekend.
