Day 1: Orange

The tree outside of my house turns a stunning orange every year, but this year it has finished it's transformation, But it's still magnificent.

The plan for October

This is the plan I blog for me came up with, as an October instagram party, and I thought I would give it a try, but I doubt I will get them all. Oh well, It'll be fun to try.

Hmm...

I've been feeling very uninspired lately; I guess that is what school does to you. Anyways, I never finished homecoming week, so here is Thursday and Friday.

Thursday: Movie night in the park (the hunger games)

I went with Jennifer, and we were all cozy and warm inside a million blankets while drinking hot chocolate.

 

I had some trouble with my hair falling in my face and while I was trying to blow it out of my face, Jennifer snapped this very attractive photo.

 

Friday: School spirit day and Homecoming

 

So, everyone wore the shirts they made to school, and at school we had a pep fest to get excited for the game and watch the guy/girl dance. Then all of us packed into the stands for the football game. We lost the game 49-7, which means we were all getting bored, so we started playing with beach ball. Homecoming is not complete if it doesn't start snowing, and this homecoming was complete. At least we were smart this year and brought blankets.

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And that was my Friday.

 



Powderpuff and parade

Yesturday was crazy. First there was the homecoming parade. Kelsey and I were in charge of it and had to organize everything: all of the floats, the permits, the police and finding a Grand Marshall. The grand Marshall we choose was our school's number one supporter. His name is Red and he graduated 27 years ago, then he got into a car accident. He still hangs around our school and goes to every event. We knew he would have a blast and do a great job. Apparently somebody told kare 11 news, and Kelsey, Red and I were interviewed for the news. I feel famous. You can view the article and the video here: http://www.kare11.com/news/article/991791/396/Coon-Rapids-pays-special-tribute-in-homecoming-parade

Then there was powderpuff. The bears won, and my team came in third, but I had a blast and now, I actually understand football better. The best part of powderpuff and the homecoming parade is the glitter, and taking photos. I took over 100, but I'll just share my favorites.

 

 

 

 

Monday and Tuesday

Monday was awesome. The theme was pajama day, so I was comfortable and happy all day. Then Monday night was the Senior Guys volleyball tournament. Some guys decided to wear short shorts and cut off T-shirts, some of them are going to haunt me in my dreams.

 

I was rooting for team 1, but they lost out early. I think team #8 won.

 

Tuesday was dress up day and coronation. Sarina won and became our Queen. She is the kindest sweetest person you will ever meet. She also was diagnosed with cancer last year, which might have earned her the sympathy vote.

 

I wore my favorite sweater to school, and my friend mark, wore a kilt... Where do you buy a kilt?

 

 Homecoming week is so much fun, and it really makes you feel like you're actually part of the school and fills you with school spirit. I love it and I can't wait for tomorrow.



Homecoming week

Homecoming week starts tomorrow!!! The biggest football game is on Friday and this whole week is full of activities, but before we can focus on the week, we had to focus on making tshirts for the powderpuff football game, and for the actual homecoming game.

The powderpuff football game is when all of the senior girls are put onto teams and play two hand touch football. I'm on the Vikings and some of my best friends are on the other teams (packers, lions and bears). They're going down!!! Pretty much everyone else in the school picks there favorite senior girl and makes a number one fan shirt; I have 10!

Then for the actual game you make another shirt with a cool reference to your class. Some of the good ones are usually:
Jurassic juniors, we eat freshmen.
Sarcastic seniors/sophomores, we love Kelly Scott.

But we came up with the best one: smart seniors, talk nerdy to me.

Beside that, there is movie night on the lawn, a parade and many other fun things. Hopefully I'll have a new post everyday, but in all reality I'll probably update you sometime next week! I'm so excited!
