#82 Have a shaving cream fight

So a while back, I requested we do this on an FHE suggestion sheet and it happened but was unexpected. We had a relay race FHE. We started out with who could get out of the human knot the fastest. We totally won. Then we did the fill up the bucket with a sponge. We all stood in a line and had to pass the sponge over then under till the end of the line and we'd squeeze out what we had left. Pretty sure we won that too. Then we did the egg in the spoon race. I think we lost but oh well. Out team was called "We've lost our Lucky Charms," so that was awesome anyway. Then we had to shave balloons. It was so hard and then everyone started fighting with shaving cream. It was sooo great! Then I got a giant pile of it in my eyes, ouchies!!! That stuff burns like none other! After I could see again, I got some in my mouth and it tastes awful. It felt AWESOME though and is idea for fighting. After we took a ton of pictures, we all had to get sprayed off with the hose which had freezing water! Brrrrrr. It was awesome though and I'd totally recommend it AND do it again in a heart beat!

You can hardly see me but I'm slightly to the left of the guy in the red shirt who I think is a missionary actually, haha! Good times!

#49 Have a huge food fight

Okay, lets start at the very beginning, a very good place to start. The week of February 14th I was trying to think of something clever to do for Joe Heeb's Birthday. We are super good friends and he is always doing things for others so I wanted to do something for him. I was trying to think of a very unique and fun Birthday present. I wanted to help him cross off something on his Belly Up List.

The thought occurred to me Thursday night, February 17th. Joe's Bucket List said, "Get into a spontaneous food fight." I thought, I could throw Joe a surprise Birthday party but really just get into a giant food fight when he showed up. I texted our mutual friend Jenn and she thought it was a great idea. So Friday night, I made a facebook event and invitied everyone to this Surprise Party. Unfortunately, someone kind of blew the surprise and just let everything out. I was so disappointed but looked at that event as a challenge to plan so well that he would still have no idea it was coming and still be able to cross it off his list.

Monday night the 21st was Joe's real Birthday. He spent it just going to FHE. After FHE Preston, Nick, Michelle and I sat in Preston's car and planned everything out. Here's what we came up with: Every Tuesday night Preston, Nick, and Joe go on Elder's Quorum visits (or try to at least, lol) So, they were first going to visit Jenn at 6:30 (who was in on it) and about 7:20 Michelle was going to call Preston to say that her car died and needed a jump. Preston wouldn't have jumper cables in his car because it was new so they would stop by Nick's house to get them (which really just gave Jenn time to get to the park by my house where Michelle's car would be. So, on their way to the park, Joe would call Lindsey Lee to tell her that they would be late to visit her which they really weren't going to do. In the meantime, I would have everyone meet at my house with a bowl of food. We went to the park around 7:30ish and hid in and around the equipment to wait for them. When Preston, Nick and Joe arrived, Michelle and Drielle would be sitting at a table waiting for them. So, Nick and Joe would walk over to the table to get them which was by the park and when he wasn't looking, we would ambush him and have a giant/ spontaneous food fight.

Basically it worked out perfectly and Joe didn't expect anything. When he got to Michelle and Drielle (which was really Lindsey Lee) they turned around and got him with food and he said. "WHAT THE EFFF" and then we ambushed him. It was amazing and everything I hoped a food fight would be. Here are some pictures.

Here is everyone that came.

Joe and I. Doesn't he look wonderfully disgusting? haha!

Me, Jenn, and Joe!
