Heidie was on the homecoming court at the high school, one of the junior class representatives. (Kind of ironic given that she is officially still homeschooled.)
Here she is, at the parade, and no, this is not her boyfriend:
Her guy couldn’t attend homecoming, so her date for the dance was her good friend, Grace:
Here was Jenny’s date – not her boyfriend either – just an escort for the night:
The following week, Heidie’s Riley came home from college.
and the two of them went out on their own:
Then a couple months later, the school put on a production of The Wizard of Oz. This is the Kansas backdrop that Heidie designed and painted, with a little help from other students:
Heidie had a major role in the production. She was Auntie Em:
Who became Glinda in Oz:
Her dress was my project. I so enjoyed designing and sewing it:
Jenny was one of the guards in the witch’s castle, a Winky:
It was minor role and a more sober one than Heidie’s,
but she enjoyed the camaraderie with the cast.
Theater has been one of the more positive perks of my homeschooled girls
being at the high school.
