MINUTE to WIN it

After the half time at the high school homecoming game I decided to pack up the kids plus there friends and head home.  Brainstorming on something fun we could do when we got home minute to win came to mind.  I got on Pinterest real quick and wrote down some things to but at the store!  Persaus, Maddie and I went to the store and after getting all that we needed we walked passed silly string- I could NOT pass this up....... We stopped at a friends so i could put together a poster that read "ARE YOU IN IT TO WIN IT" We parked my car outside the garage and called the boys outside, that's when we chased them all over the yard spraying them till the bottles were empty.  The boys had revenge and got shaving cream and chased us!!!! It was a blast beginning to our game night!!!!
 The games we played were:  Candy Stack
                                               Junk in your trunk
                                                M & M suck
                                                Doughnut stack
                                                 
I had a few more games to play, but it was almost midnight and they had eaten so much Candy they started shoving chocolate doughnuts in each others mouths making a mess that i had to call it a night.  We will be playing this again, I have a list of more fun/funny games to be played!!!!!















Football

Jayden is in 3rd devision this year and is doing great- I will have to write down the 4 positions he plays because I forget :-(( this last Saturday he had the longest run with the ball, I think he went 30-35 yards.  I love watching him play!!!! He is getting better every practice and game! GO ELGIN EAGLES!!!!!!!! 




That's my boy #11

 I can find Jayden on the field in the mess of the players because he has YELLOW cleats :-))

Gardening

I DO NOT HAVE a green thumb.......... I can craft and bake and cook and clean for hours!!!!  I bought Tulips from SAMs club this weekend and the bag had 50 bulbs!!!! I bought them because Persaus LOVES to play in the dirt, or garden-  she was all excited and I let her lay out the pattern where we would plant each bulb.  Then it was time to dig 50 holes..... I discovered I didn't own a little shovel and Persaus found crickets and grass hopers and butterflies that was may more fun than helping me :-(((( I started planting and planting and planting (it took me about 2 hours)  I planted 20 bulbs and took a break.  Brian was watching his Cowboys game and I jokingly said during commercial go plant some bulbs....... I love him because in about 10 minutes he planted 10!!!!!  Later he planted some more, then he dug and I planted the rest (team work). Now lets hope that we have pretty tulips this spring..... And that it actually looks pretty
