.minute to win it.

A group of us got together at church this evening for a potluck and Minute to Win It games. Kate & Beth did a great job finding the games and everyone was really good sports!

We started with a puzzle game – which was harder than it sounds!!

Then there was a game where there was a quarter in each leg of a pair of pantyhose. You had to get the quarter out while only using your hand – and you couldn’t use your two hands together.

The next game was blowing a cup off across the table using a straw. The little girls thought they could participate in that game!

I was horrible at this game – couldn’t stop laughing!!!

The next game was putting six nuts on a skewer then stacking nuts on top of each other. Karlye & Amber went head to head and Amber beat Kar by a long shot!!

The next game was knocking over six water bottles with an orange inside pantyhose on your head.

Finally – the three winners had one last competition. They had to put an Oreo on their forehead and then scoot it down to their mouth without using their hands!

Thanks for the fun evening everyone!

I forgot to take pictures of the food I made for the potluck – two recipes from Pinterest!

One was a Twice Baked Potato Casserole from here: http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Twice-Baked-Potato-Casserole

and a berry cobbler, recipe here:

They both turned out great – I’ll add them to my list of recipes to try again!

.bowling party.

Ben, Maren, Nick, and Kate organized the 2nd meeting of the Connell UMC Adult Youth Group! This time the group went bowling at the Connell bowling alley. It’s not normally open on Monday’s but Maren & Ben know the owners and hooked us up! :)

Gotta love rented bowling shoes – especially with fluorescent shoe strings!

Then Kara had to come and show off with her *own* bowling shoes – not rented!

It was a really fun evening…and I learned that I really really stink at bowling. I didn’t even break 100! I even took a Jan Term bowling class at Whitworth…obviously did not help!

Thanks for organizing it Boucher’s and Johnson’s! :)
