More Photos

Here are a few additional (to Britney's) pictures I took before my camera died...

Britney made the most delicious spread. And as alway I am keeping my fingers crossed that the recipes will be posted!!

Mmmmmmmmm.  I adore chocolate and caramel!

Here we had some skewered rabbits and some not so great brownies.

As a little April Fool's Day joke Britney loaded these puppies with salt.  I loved Shaunas reaction the best.  She simply yelled out "Whoha!! Sweet AND salty"  Ha! Ha! I still laugh when I think about it.

Here are the good one teaspoon of salt brownies.

Kristie & Stephanie

Robyn & Bethany

Kara & Christie

Somehow I didn't end up with pictures of the ladies on the couch (me, Shauna & Shannon) I'll do better next time!

And now for a few of my very favorite photos of the night.

What would cause Brenda to make this face...

And then Britney to make this one...

Could it be this little present Brenda left Bert?

Hmmmm

The world may never know.

(Actually Britney was trying not to laugh while she watched everyone eat her salty brownies & the picture of Brenda is what she looked like when she discovered what that little devil was up to.)

I had a great time and can't wait for next time!!!

The Help
At Robyn's

A night of hunger and a few games

It was a great night. 

 Kristie lead a great review of the book (thanks Kristie!) 

I love the tie in to the story from Greek Mythology -- very cool.

Thanks to Heidi and her never-ending cleverness,

we even had a little game to get things really rolling.

Here's the set up...

No one is quite sure of what is about to take place.

Aw.....simple pleasantries before the blood bath.

Let the games begin.

Maybe Heidi has a few better pictures, but it happened so fast that this is the only one of the actual action.

If you remember Brenda swooped low and fast and gathered an armful of supplies, while Kara took the risk of being picked off and went in for the remainder of the goods.

Brenda looks a little too happy (and comfortable) to be sporting that knife.

[I think it is safe to say that I wouldn't want to be in the arena with her.] :)

Christie was quite proud of her acquisition of the bow.

  

Little did we know she had every intention of using it right away.

 [By the way,....this has to be one of my favorite pictures of all time!!!!!]

Thanks for coming. We had a great time. 

P.S. I'm sorry about the salty brownies -- mostly.

Score!

The girls were ecstatic to find this treasure awaiting them this morning. They couldn't believe I got this from book club, and kept wanting to know who shot the farthest and got the most points. "Did Kara even shoot it?" (Maybe because you're pregnant, they didn't think you should be acting like a warrior).

Carly to Macy: You be the girl. The girl Indians stay home and cook and clean the boys' clothes. I get to go out and go hunting. I can be the boy because back then, the boys had long hair. They didn't have scissors back then to cut their hair, and they thought it looked nicer.

They bring me drinks from the lake and cobs of corn as I type.

Carly: Mom, you can't be the Mom because back then, they didn't have computers.

I'm being called for a feast, so I'll sign off now. Thanks for the yummy food, great discussion, and fun time, as always!
