Texas MUMs

What is a mum you ask?
What is it for?

Click Here for explanation.

 This is the first mum we have come into contact with since our 4 years in Texas.
Last year, Emric's date was not from Texas and did not want one.
His date this year is Sydney. 
She is a good friend of Emric's.
They have known each other since their freshman year.
She is adorable! :)

But back to the mums.
They are pricey and heavy and have gotten huge and nuts!
They can range from about $70 to make to $300 made professionally!
And no, I did not make this one!
The girls and guys (they have smaller ones called Garters) wear them all day at school 
on the Friday of the Homecoming football game.
And the more noise and rambunctious they are the better!


Some have tried to break the tradition by donating the mum money to charities, 
which the kids do, but they still make the mums!

Some traditions are just hard to break.

Kinda Crazy!

Here they are doing the exchange...
