Stretch the incredibles

Homecoming is on Friday!!! And "STRETCH THE INCREDIBLES" is our theme.

Braxton is now in 5th and 6th grade football. They usually do something for the parade, like throw all the football players in the back of a truck and put a sign on the side of a truck and "wa~lah" they have a float. Well if you know me well enough, you know that that isn't going to fly by me! So we all decided to do a "real" float. We all met at our house last night and worked very hard for 2 1/2 hours! and it is almost done! we have a few finishing touches to do but for the most part it is done. The kids even helped! Can you believe it? We gave them each a box of Kleenexes and said start stuffing! Some did better than others, but the kids did it so that is all that matters. Us parents helped out too.

The kids thought of what they wanted to spray paint on there. We had some other ideas, but this was their float so we did what they wanted! I can't wait to see all of them piled on there on Friday and know that this is the best 5th and 6th grade float yet! I am not biased at all :)

One of the parents made a comment last night that "we are going to have the best floats for the years to come"! I think they are right! We have a great group of kids and parents that are willing to help and not just leave it to a select few. Hopefully this trend will continue! I'm not going to hold my breath though!

One side says "INCREDIBLE RAMS"

An AWESOME goal post made by one of the dad's and his side kicks.
Some hay bales brought by one of the dads.



One side says "HEAD STRONG"

I wanted to put "stretch the midgets", but one of the kids said we don't want to stretch them.... we want them to stay midgets! GOOD POINT:)

The back is going to have a sign on it and all the kids signatures with their numbers!

We also made some signs for the boys to break through when they run out onto the field for their game on Saturday night. Hopefully this will get them pumped up and ready to play some football! Lord knows, they need all the pumping up they can get!

All in all, we had a great time and got a lot done in 2 1/2 hours!

Now........... no rain!!! otherwise we will have some wet tissue:)
