Homecoming last week was a lot of fun. Prosper is "small" compared to most school districts in the metroplex and very out in the country so we experienced our first homecoming week in a true small Texas football obsessed town. Max played during the 7th grade football game and the band did a great job! I love that Max is in percussion because no matter where you are standing or how well you can see you CAN always hear the drums. My parents met us at the game and we all sat in the stands and cheered on the Eagles.
We just love our superintendent. Not since New York did we feel like the superintendent truly had an impact on the schools. Dr. Watkins is everywhere! He rotates around the different campuses each week and is always out front helping kids out of the cars in the morning. He knows our kids by name already and even shouted out to Max during the parade route. He's from Southeast Texas so once he found out we had moved from Beaumont, we had an instant connection. We couldn't be more thrilled with the school district.
Max walked around with several of his friends during the parade and Ben hung out with a new friend who lives just down the street from us. Ella was asked to RIDE on a float and throw candy with her two new best buds, twins in her class, Paige and Payton. Their parents own the Equestrian Center just next door to us so Ella is now asking for jeans and boots since the twins' dad said he'd put her up on a horse next time she comes over. Mark Thomas sat by me during the parade. We sat in the back of the pick up truck and it seemed like every other float that drove by had someone yelling, "Hey Mark" on it. Totally cracked me up. MT makes friends wherever he goes. He took an Under Armour satchel to the parade and came home with WAY too much candy.
You are not a true Prosperite until your car has a big "P" on the back. I saw this awesome zebra one at the parade. I put one on the back of the truck the second week of school and when the kids came home that day they shouted as they walked up the drive way, "we got a P!". So we are now completely legit!
On Sunday Mark took three of the kids to Cowboy Stadium for a special tour that the Scouts were holding. Ella said to me before she left as she was doing her hair, "bow or no bow?" and I said, "the bow looks cute" and she said, "but it might fall out on the baseball field". Sweet little darling girl of mine, does not have a sports bone in her body. But she loved going to the stadium and told me all about the cheerleaders' locker room! She turns 8 tomorrow! Can't believe it!
