Once in a Lifetime!

Lil brother and his pal Millie Pebbles had a BIG weekend! They were chosen as junior Homecoming escorts for our local high school. Which meant they got to ride in the convertible and throw candy in the school parade, dress up in fancy clothes, and walk onto the field with a REAL queen! Lil brother had the important job of carrying the crown-and he assured me-it had REAL diamonds!

Both of them agreed that the parade was the best though. Maybe it was because 900 elementary kids were screaming their names while Mr B blared the lastest Justin Beiber song. Of course seeing their teacher & classmates-while they got to skip school-was pretty awesome too.

The only tricky part of the ordeal was keeping lil brother and Millie Pebbles clean between formal pictures and the Homecoming presentation. Ya'll know how s'riously lil brother takes his 1$ trip to the football "confession" stand to get his sugar coated worms (best part of the entire game for lil brother). We also had to keep them outta the cupcakes. And that took a whole lotta 'splaining... and bribes for afterwards.

I hope you enjoyed the pics above of these two friends-who both informed me they HATE to have their pics taken-this said as Millie Pebbles was digging her panties from her butt and lil brother was pulling on his collar complaining about how tight his neck was feeling as his eyes rolled back in his head. But they sucked it up and survived. And Millie Pebbles's mom & I agreed (as we mopped our sweaty faces)-this is a once in a lifetime kinda moment!
