"Fantasy and Reality Often Overlap"

As I slowly got past the shock that it was already October, that I had 47 birthdays to get gifts for, and I was going to be *gasp* sixteen; Homecoming Week came sneaking up on me with an amazing 'Wonderful World of Disney' Theme! Disney is obviously the most amazing theme ever for no other reason than Disney=Life! The week before a poster was put up to let everyone know the spirit days...

Sadly, this sign was wripped down about a day and a half later due to the inaccurate 'Class Colors' for Friday. Corrections: Freshmen- Green(because they're 'green' to the whole idea of Homecoming) Sophomore-Blue, Juniors(that's me!)-Red, and Seniors-Blue. Excited for school spirit days as ever, my friends and I started the week by digging out our Minnie Ears!(Ironically enough I got my sparkly pair of ears the same time of last year's homecoming)

After a very fun Monday('IT'S A MONDAY'), chock full of polka dots, bows, and adorable Minnie/Mickey matching couples, we decided to not even try the next day and just roll right out of bed!

Aren't out pajamas the sexiest thing you ever did see?

Apparently our pajamas make us so tired we can sleep standing up...

If this isn't the sassiest, sexiest group of potatoes you've ever seen then you're lying to yourself!

Yes, Kaely and I wore onesies to school; yes, I did get laughed at multiple times; and yes, we were dying of heat stroke since it was 90 degrees in October! I vote for changing pajama day into pajama year! Anyways, on Wednesday it was 'Goofy Day' and I 'goofily' forgot to take a picture, but I can tell you that it involved a lot of crazy prints; sparkly and colorful tights; and mismatched, knee-high socks! Next we head on over to Thursday a.k.a 'Dynamic Duo Day', where I couldn't find a dang thing to wear but my friends did and made up for any neglectfulness of my school spirit with their amazing outfits!

Introducing...Flynn Rider and Rapunzel(after her hair cut)

The love here, ladies and gentlemen, is practically 'towering' over any other love.

"Frying pans...who knew right?"

*cue the awkward prom pose*

After the adorable spectacle Anya and Christina were...we leaped right into Friday and wore all the red we could find! I was decked out in red shoes(from seventh grade), red polka dot tights(that my sister owned before me and you can see in the above photos of 'Minnie Day', a red dress(from eighth grade), and a red vest(from the 80's). 

The whole school squeezed into the gym for the Homecoming Rally. At my school, we sit according to class in the bleachers, so each area was a different color and it ended up looking pretty cool, if I say so myself. 

The cheerleaders had a colorful tunnel to go through as you entered the gym.

And pretty soon the whole place was filled with the BruiNation!

The Freshmen Class

The Sophomore Class

Not the best picture, but I was in the midst of it!

My Junior Class won the most spirited of the week, and there was no surprise there due to the fact our whole Junior section was a sea of red! Our amazing band played throughout the rally and sounded fantastic and later our choir sang our Alumni/School anthem, which although cheesy, is mostly adorable!

Meanwhile, there was tons of games and videos being played, our Homecoming Court was presented and promptly embarrassed, and our Football team huddled up and got everyone pumped for the Homecoming Game that night!

I also have to include the amazing locker sign my fantastic friends Anya and Megan made me...complete with baby pictures and the most embarassing picture of me(see bottom left-hand corner). I also want to thank my lovely parents for taking the time to make and put up signs in front of my school wishing me a happy birthday!

BONUS: each of these opened up to say something! Cuteness overload!

That night I headed to the Homecoming Game to see out amazing floats!(don't want to brag but ours was the bomb!) We beat Foothill in the JV game and in the Varsity Game at 40 to 6! GO BRUINS! 

Freshmen - Snow White

Sophomores - Monsters Inc.

JUNIOR FLOAT! - Peter Pan

Come on, you can't beat a ship!

Seniors- Toy Story

We had a great time at the football game- drinking hot coco, eating funnel cake, and cheering for our team. 

Doesn't Isabella look like the fish from that Disney Channel show 'Fish Hooks'

On Saturday, Anya, Christina, and I went to the Homecoming Dance where the decorations were amazing! Sadly, Isabella wasn't feeling well and couldn't come but I hope she's feeling better! After a long and strenuous  process of finding a Disney character to be, I invested in a tutu and some mouse ears and became a girl mouse from Cinderella!

"Cinderelly, Cinderelly, night and day, it's Cinderelly"

"Got any CHEESE?"

If it isn't a Lost Boy and Wendy I see!

I had a wonderful time dressing up for Homecoming and having a great time with my friends! I hope everyone else had a fantastic time too and if your Homecoming hasn't happened yet you have as much fun as I did and if it's already passed(whether by a few weeks or multiple years) you had a great time!
