Tuesday, Shelby and I got
to host the girls night. We did an improve theme. We started out playing a game
called Photo Freeze, where a team is given a scene like “shark attack” or
“meeting your celebrity crush” and they have to act out the scene as a picture,
so they can’t move. After that, we played a game called the PowerPoint Game.
Each team was given a theme written by the another team (Like “marine wildlife”
or “the anatomy of the human body”) and 3 random sentences also written by the
other teams. Then they had to present a PowerPoint they had never seen before, using
their theme and somehow had to incorporate their 3 sentences into their
presentation. It was so funny watching teams try to explain why there was a
picture of a guy eating a burrito in a presentation about marine life or what a
pie chart about lucky charms had to do with the stages of pregnancy! I think
most everyone had fun, even the women staff enjoyed it!
Wednesday was our pause
kid’s soccer games, so we went down to the fields to cheer them on. I painted
my face and made signs with Shiloh. Morgan & I both lost our voices from
screaming so much! Both Dayton and Dylan’s teams won! After the game, Happy and Scott took our pause family over to
their house to eat. We had breakfast for dinner with pancakes, sausage, eggs,
and real Canadian syrup! Plus, none of it was Sysco food, ha! We played games
and told stories around the bonfire on their porch. Great end to the day.
For our theme dinner
Thursday night, it was Harry Potter! It was so much fun! I dressed up as a
Death Eater with a dark mark and everything. Shelby did too and we creeped out
a bunch of people! We started off with taking photos before dinner. Everyone
looked so awesome. Chad pulled off a great Draco. Before dinner, we were separated
in to houses by the sorting hat. I got Hufflepuff, even though I really wanted
Slytherin. For dinner we had Turkey legs, split pea soup, shepherd’s pie, shoo
fly pie, and this savory pumpkin dish with onions, garlic, cheese, and spices.
It was so good. We also had these chocolate cookies with chocolate chips, white
chocolate chips, and dried cherries inside. After dinner, house points were
awarded for the best costumes. Shelby, Bella (as Bellatrix), and I got 12
points each as Death Eaters, along with a 10 for Hipster Potter (Nathan) and 10
for Cee Lo Green (don’t ask…). We won with 56 points! After, we headed down to
the Ark where we play Quidditch! We were running around, throwing dodge balls
through hoops with brooms between our legs. Unfortunately, we lived up to the
Hufflepuff name and lost… badly. 45 to 16. But it was a ton of fun! We ended
the night in the building with some ice cream and some ButterBeer.
This weekend I worked in
the dishroom at Cedar Hall for the Hume Lakers conference (all the big donors).
I worked with Logi-Bear (His name is Logan but everyone calls him Logi-Bear).
It was fun, but I don’t think working in the dishroom is my calling in life.
Saturday, I was at lunch in staff dining and I got up to get something, we Ji
pushed out her chair really fast and hit me, causing me to fall to the floor.
Everyone was staring while I was laughing historically on the ground! When I
got back to work, I was filling up a bucket with extremely hot water for
silverware, when Nathan comes out of nowhere & shoves bubbles in my face! I
ranted at him kiddingly, when I go to turn around and Mallory does it to me
too! But this time, I dump the bucket of hot water all down my front. I tried
to rush over to the sink to spray myself off with cold water, but I slipped and
fell. Fortunately, I never got hurt, but falling down I front of others is not
my idea of fun, although very funny!
Tomorrow is our first
Philippians test! Good thing I finished it early. We have to have the entire
book of Philippians memorized by the end of the year and Monday is our chapter
1 test.
