Minute to Win It!

For our friend Rick's 30th birthday, his wifey Mandy, hosted our very own version of the popular game show "Minute to Win It"! We had a blast last night trying to perform some fun, crazy, and goofy tasks in under 1 minute or in some cases, the fastest. We kicked our competitive spirit into drive and got nervous, strategized, had a blast, and laughed until we just about peed our pants.

The birthday boy himself! Yum! Funfetti!

On the Nose: transfer 5 cotton balls across the room by only using your nose and petroleum jelly in the fastest time! This is a sight to see!

Stack Attack: Use 36 plastic cups to erect a triangle shaped structure, then move them all into a single stack. A steady hand is key!

Elephant March: be the quickest to knock down all 6 water bottles by swinging a baseball inside of pantyhose worn on your head. The girls rocked this one!

Johnny Apple Stack: Stack 5 apples on top of each other...sounds pretty simple- BUT it is not!

Face the Cookie: Be the first to roll 3 Oreos down your face from your forehead to your mouth- no hands... of course! HILARIOUS to watch!

Noodling Around: Pick up six penne noodles placed around the perimeter of a table using only a piece of uncooked spaghetti in your mouth. Just get low!

Defying Gravity: Keep all three balloons in the air for as long as possible. Mark rocked it with approximately 20 seconds...it sounds short, but just you try it!

Paper Dragon: Unspool rolls of party streamers using only your hands and arms. Murphy wanted to get in on the action.

How's it Hangin': Using a banana dangling from your waist, roll oranges across the floor and inside a basket. Mark sure worked up a sweat doing this one!

And look who stayed up WAY TOO late to join in on all of the action! Nolan loves being a part of our group of friends...for so long he was the only kiddo in the mix. Heath has joined in and baby girl Krauth will be here soon...however, I'm pretty sure that on most days we are all just a bunch of kids!

Your friends are the funnest people ever. Our parties involve drinking, but not the super fun games that drinking would make that much more enjoyable:)
