Prom happened WAY back in April. Here are some snapshots of this fun day.
#3, #2 and #3.5
This year we had 3 children going to prom.

There are so many benefits to homeschooling… but missing prom is probably not one of them. I was super happy when #2 was asked to go to prom with one of his best friends. Here's their day…
#6 is helping in brother put his black Converse on
He thought he was going too..
Group of friends
He's not heavy he's my best friend.
Here in Ottawa Kansas they have a little prom tradition called prom walk in. There's a red carpet.. the whole town shows up to watch.. it's pretty cool.
#6 and 3.5 waiting for #2 to get there.
Many try to find the coolest ride to roll into prom walk in.
We like to think #3 had the coolest ride. His uncle owns a repo company… and he let him borrow his truck and car.
The boys rode in front, and the girls rode in the car.. on the hook.
This kid was so happy to drive this cool truck with the lights on…
The boys let the car down.. and got their dates.
** they only drove like this in the parking lot**
#2 and his best friend!
Ottawa High School's dance team and cheerleader squad have a Garage Sale that I've enjoyed going to for a couple of years. Here's this years haul…

Some clothing for #1, #3 and #3.5
Pretty Good haul 🙂
This is my 5th year judging the forensics tournament at Ottawa High School. I really love doing it.
The Commons area at the school.
Here's my Schedule for the day:
Round 1: Prose
Prose expresses though through language recorded in sentences and paragraphs. Prose includes fiction (short stories, novels etc) and non fiction (articles, essays, journals, biographies)
Round 2: SSA (Serious Solo Acting)
Serious Solo selections must be memorized and given without notes. Serious Solos should be interpreted as an acting event where the entire stage area may be used.
Round 3: Poetry
Poetry is writing which expresses ideas, experience or emotion through the creative arrangement of words according to their sound their rhythm and their meaning.
Lunch Break
Finals: Informative Speech
The speech must provide a learning experience for the listener by instructing or giving information in an interesting manner. The speech must not be more than seven minutes in length, must be memorized and recited without notes.
This is not Mrs. Soph… but this kid (whom I love) asks me to judge and I always say yes. Who could deny that punim?
