A (Few) Minute(s) To Win It (?!)

Earlier this spring, Mark and Abby went to a Minute To Win It Party celebrating their friend Rick's birthday. Considering the competitive and game-loving nature of our family, we knew we had to have a party of our own. So, Sue hosted a lovely summer picnic with some KFC for dinner. Man, sometimes KFC tastes SO good!

The hostess and her sister (Sue is holding my mom's eyes open...they tend to shut whenever cameras snap!)
After dinner the competition began. We sort of invented our own rules...men vs. women, a certain number of competitors per event, score each round, determine the ultimate champs...

Round 1: Move five cotton balls from one bowl to another about ten feet away using only a nose full of vaseline...
Oma Bosch watched this event on tv and asked Sue if snot was hanging from their noses. I can't imagine where she got that idea...

Round 2: Move an Oreo Cookie from your forehead to your mouth without using your hands.
Such dedication...

Round 3: Stack 36 cups in rows beginning with 8 on the bottom up to 1 on the top. Given the slanted angle of the patio and picnic table, this task was next to impossible!
Round 4: Thread five rigatoni noodles onto one spaghetti noodle using only your mouth...

Round 5: Unwind two full rolls of crepe paper by swinging your arms wildly in circles.



And Rounds 5 & 6: Shimmy, shake, or gyrate yourself silly. The goals? "score" a basket, or empty the "junk" from your trunk.
In the end, I'm not exactly sure who won. But, we had a great night. Thanks Sue and Abby for planning such a fun night!
