My poor youngest son! I don't know how he puts up with me, but he'd never let me know how much I am smothering him daily. There is something so FINAL about the baby of the family having all these high school moments that you want to soak in because they are your last ones.
Everything about him has hit me harder than it did with the other two. His life has felt faster in general. He had to grow up quickly with two older siblings. Matt and I are always talking about how proud we are of him and how he is such a good kid (and he is). I think we both feel the end of school days is near!
Currently, plans are under way for our annual boys golf Spartan Pancake Breakfast which happens this Saturday.
High school golf is one of those weird sports in that most of your season happens during the summer. When summer dead period ends, you compete in about a thousand tournaments right before school starts. Basically his season will almost be halfway finished by the time his senior year actually starts. We will put him in some of the Go Golf and Bluegrass events in May and June, but his actual high school season is almost here. I find myself so emotional about it - we've watched him play competitively for so long. I'll be a wreck this year beginning Saturday with our first fundraiser!
Four years as a varsity golfer, be still my heart! One to go!
Saturday night was PROM. Here come more emotions. Everything was unpredictable with Karson's prom years because of COVID. She didn't even have a junior prom. Fortunately, our friends had an event for some of the junior class so they could have an experience since many had already gotten their dresses and were hopeful it might happen at school. Her senior year was different too, and it was held outdoors in the school parking lot with social distancing. At least they actually had an event though. Isaac didn't go to senior prom but went to the junior one at the Corvette Museum. I don't remember many details about it but believe his date got sick and had to leave early. He did go to an after prom and had a good time with his friends.
Karson and Isaac's Junior Prom picture recap:
Prom-posal complete with directors clapboard since he and his date love going to the movies together and tickets purchased.
Back in February, we'd ordered his tuxedo from Men's Warehouse to be picked up prior to prom (we did this with Isaac too). It's funny how different they both are. Isaac wanted it ALL, everything that could be rented - pocket square, patterned vest, socks, shoes, cufflinks, button covers, the whole nine yards. Miles, not so much. He wanted the basics and wanted to match his date. We literally rented the jacket, shirt, necktie and pants. He had black shoes already and didn't want a vest, cufflinks, button covers or pocket square. Easy peasy.
When we received the text to go pick up his tux, I think everyone in BG and surrounding counties were there. It was NUTS. The line was super long, and we waited for quite some time. Once he got everything on, fitted, and adjusted right, we were out the door. His friend from Plano days, Bryce, was picking his up too, so I snapped a picture! Bryce's mom and I talked for a while about Prom flowers. I told her I was in the business of making my own. This was done when Isaac went to prom, and the bouquet was fresh and lovely. I planned to do the same for Miles.
These were the colors I was working with, and this is how the bouquet and boutonniere combination turned out. I loved the whites and darker reds/purples. Kroger always has such a lovely selection of flowers and affordable too. Speaking of affordable flowers, SWHS Greenhouse is the best place for my doorstep pots (featured below). Now, we just need some cooperative warmer weather.
Had to get a picture with the ride! Sharp dressed man!
This year two of my men went to Prom. Matt and my smothered son Miles were the attenders. The event was held at Whitestone Barn which is a gorgeous venue close to South.
Miles and his stunning date Esi. I texted her about his crooked boutonniere to which she replied...we're not talking about that. Too funny. I blame myself for not double pinning it!
Both Esi and Miles said the DJ was awesome, and they had a great time. 💕
Warren County's BEST - the admin team at South! Love these people!
