Dog Show

we took the girls to see the annual bethel dog show. the community here is probably one of my favorite things about this place. bethel is such a small town that if anything goes on everyone comes. this little gathering was the the cultural center/library building. the room was actually pretty big and full (some people were watching out in the hall). the dog show itself was fun to watch. it seemed anyone who had a dog, brought it. the dogs weren't competing for best of breed or anything like that. they were in categories like

best bark, best spots, best trick, most obedient, most dis-obedient, and my favorite best costume.

i really think the girls enjoyed it. i know it did.

cory on the other hand, i don't know.

someone brought in their little black and white shih tzu

i'm pretty sure cory was having otis with drawls.

Flour Cup Game

Last night the girls invited Jill, their teacher, over for a sleepover.

It was so fun! I felt like I was in high school again.

We played truth or dare, watched twilight...

and played the flour cup game.

-----------------

I feel bad for cory.

First he had to put up living with one girl,

now he lives with six.

He's a good sport though!

Luckily he has Jason to keep him sane.

If you have never played the flour cup game

the rules are simple.

First you fill a small cup half way up with flour.

Then place a small coin in the cup and finish to fill the rest up.

After the flour is packed up tight, turn the cup over

and pull it off the flour slowly.

This will leave you will a small tower of flour.

Each person takes a turn cutting a sliver off the flour tower.

The person who knocks it over has to get the coin

out of the flour with only their face.
