A Silly Night




Who in the world invented silly string? What would trigger the human mind to stuff string in a can and call it "silly?"
What next...
"ridiculous rope?"



Well, whoever it is, may I say a hardy, "thank you" for our very silly, fun-filled evening!








Annie opted out of the silly string silliness, and sat on the sidelines, thinking about her strategy. She didn't sit long when all of a sudden, she had a lightbulb moment. She summoned her daddy's help, and the war was on!

























Clean up was a breeze! Joel yelled, "Whoever brings me the biggest, silly string ball gets a brownie." And hot-diggity! I was in the game!





And the winner of the silly string ball rolling contest is....MATTHEW. *one person clapping, very slowly*
But hey! don't forget! around here, we're all winners. Let's all say the family fun night motto... "If we all had fun, then we all won." Yee-ha! Brownies for all!



5 cans of silly string -$5.00
One box of brownie mix - $1.00
Family fun night filled with memories - Priceless. :o)

What terrific action shots!! The one of Mary is so funny. OK when I get home I propose a girls vs guys game. We'll wait for Kristy, get the Hutts over and have a good ole' time. We could adapt "capture the flag" rules to suit the silly string. Whoever gets "HIT" goes to prison.
Whatdayasay?
I'll bring the brownies....;-D

Oh, how fun. Amazing how entertaining a can of silly string can be to a family of mountain dwellers. You guys make it to civilization often now that "the pass is open?" Ha ha. . .

Love the picture of Mary getting "plastered". It makes me want to go get a can. Anyone for silly string?

LOL- K-- you so funny!

Fun! Love the pictures, the one of Mary in the midst of being attacked is the best. :) And you're right, what a great invention.... next thing you know they will put cheese in a can. :) And LOL to your sister's comment above.

Did you give each of the children a shiny red penny to buy some candy from the mercantile? How did you fare in the pie baking contest? Did Joel win a blue ribbon for any of his prize winning pumpkins?
