A Nice Evening Out

After all of the tornado stuff last night, we headed over to the church for MOPS and POPS night. The kids were all dressed in their pj's since they were having a pajama party. We dropped the kids off in their rooms and Mike and I went over to have a nice dinner with other parents.

The theme was Survivor: Parenthood and each table was seperated into different tribes. We were the Baby Booger Nose tribe. LOL! They took our picture (much like at prom) and gave it to us before we left. After dinner, there were four games. Each tribe had to send a member up to compete. Mike competed in the Parenting 101 Q and A challenge and came up with a very funny answer to the question (something about accidentially leaving a child at home alone). There was also Snugli Limbo (limbo with a doll attached to your chest) and an eating competition. That one was hysterical! They had to eat a jar of baby food peas, meat sticks, a piece of melba toast and wash it down with a sippy cup of milk. Three of the guys were sucking so hard on the sippy cups, the lids came off and they were splashed with their cupful of milk. Too funny. I competed in the Parent Multi-tasking and Agility contest. I had to stand on a block, pick up a doll, a burp rag, a binkie, a diaper bag, car keys, cell phone, and stand on one foot. I was out of the competition before they were squirted with water guns and then had to hold an infant car seat. My leg still hurts today.

We had so much fun mingling with other people (I already knew most of the moms from MOPS) and the kids had a great time too. They were still talking about it this morning.
