After a very frustrating time when an entire post, quite a lengthy post at that, had been deleted, I decided to get back on the blogging bandwagon and try again. I'll break them up into one day at a time (even though it is from last week) so there will be several new posts at once. That way if anything is deleted I'll only lose one day as opposed to a full week.
FRIDAY:
We decided to have our first house guests over for dinner. We had James' co-workers and their families for an evening of food, drink and games. We had a great time. There was a ton of food and there were tons of drinks so we enjoyed ourselves for many hours. In fact, James and I didn't get to bed until 3 am. I have not been up that late in ages. Unfortunately the kids were in bed on time so that means that they got up at the regular time of 6:30. Sheesh. I realize a day will come when I won't be able to get them out of bed but you think they could make it until the 7 o'clock hour at least. :(
James and I love playing games so we decided to pull out one of the old favourites. Since his co-workers come from such diverse backgrounds and countries, we figured it would be best to play Pictionary; afterall, pictures are universal.
We split up, guys against girls. Us ladies had a bit of a handicap since we were one person short but we definitely made the best of the situation. Actually, we kicked their butts! :) :) I do pride myself in being quite a Pictionary whiz afterall. :) Truth be told, we kicked their butts twice. :) They were two of the best games I have played in quite some time. The guys offered some fierce competition but we were still able to beat them. There were a few cases where our team mates did not understand the word (language barrier) so a quick redraw solved the problem. Overall they did wonderfully considering English is their second language.
We definitely hope to get together again to play some more games, eat some more food and drink some more drinks.
