Mother Son Minute to Win it Party

Last Friday night, Michael and I went to a PTA fundraiser at his elementary school. It was a Mother Son Minute to Win it Party. 

We had a lot of fun :) There were games up on the stage that included things like eating a donut off a string, tossing ping pong balls out of a kleenex box with your hips and making "cheese heads. This was where the boys put shower caps on, then shaving cream was piled on their heads and the moms competed to see who could get the most cheese puffs to stick to their son's heads. 

Michael and I were sad that we didn't get lucky enough to go up on the stage, but they had games at the tables, too. They included things like moving marshmallows around with straws and picking pasta up with our teeth. Michael totally killed it with his mad skills when it came to putting a cookie in his mouth using only his facial muscles!

Rachel's and Summer's Bridal Shower - May 28th, 2015

Last summer, Rachel and Summer both got married (wedding posts coming sometime soon I hope) and so we had a bridal shower for them. My sweet friend Kristyn (here's a link to her husband's blog) was so gracious and hosted the craziness! She decorated her lovely home way better than I could have decorated our well lived in home and everything was so beautiful. Aren't these centerpieces gorgeous?

We had a blast with the girls' friends from school, church and family from far and near. 

We played a few different games, all of which I have forgotten about (the dangers of blogging a year after the fact). If you were there and have any memories more clear than my own, please leave them in the comments!

My favorite game was the one where the party goers divided up into two teams and a few judges. Each team had a set amount of time to dress the brides-to-be in toilet paper wedding dresses.

Gorgeousness was the happy result.
