I can't believe it, but it was a great night - we only had one trip to the emergency room, and no he wasn't life-flighted on, the doctor prescribed ice. My eye hurts just thinking about it.
Thankfully Brad has a middle-school aged daughter and knew how to keep them busy! This included a road-rally! Don't worry though, they didn't drive the church van, my truck, or their parents' cars. Instead they drove matchboxes, with their noses. I think a couple of girls probably had some difficulty on Saturday morning explaining rug burn on their noses to their mom.
We also played pile-up which was hilarious and still didn't involve driving anyone's vehicles. The kids sat in a circle, while Brad read off instructions such as: If you have a dog, bark and move five chairs to the right, If your shirt is green move six spots to the left. etc. etc. Well, if there was someone already in that chair, yeah you guessed it, you just pile up.
Thursday night I spent some time calling people in my phone book looking for "Twister." Most people I called made rude comments about drunken twister or wondered what I was doing. When I went to work Friday morning and was complaining about my bad luck to the recess supervisor, she informed me that we had not one, but TWO games of Twister at work. DUH!
Brad had the brilliant idea of making it horizontal and vertical. Pretty funny if you ask me, especially when there were 24 spaces for each color and 22 kids. Yeah, they didn't stand a chance!
There is ONE picture that I didn't get that I REALLY regret...that is super-purple-through-and-through Alyx wrapped up in my fuzzy KU blanket. It's probably best, her mother would disown her, or at least put her out in the cold.

That's right! Out in the cold! No mercy here!
Actually.....thank you so much for helping with the party (it meant I didn't get asked, which was GREAT)....after the Super Bowl Party, I wasn't ready to face a large group of middle-schoolers again! It sounds like the kids had a great time.
