Friends are fun...no matter your age

The older we get we are finding out that our kids have a bigger and better social life then we do :)  It's not uncommon most weekends that we are either driving Zach to a birthday party sleep over, picking up Anna from Volleyball and then taking her to grab a friend so they can both go to a sleepover, etc, etc!  Even Addy has started asking when she can have friends over to spend the night....
We are so blessed in Bismarck to have friends in Bismarck who are, like us, ready to be over the bar hoping, late night parting, feeling like garbage the whole next day scenrio!  Now, don't get me wrong, we still love our ladies nights and the occasional trip to the OK ;)  But we also have just as much fun being at home and sipping on a drink or two or none in our homes while our kids enjoy each other and someone elses 'new' toys!!  When we are all together and can make it, there are 5 couples and 9 kiddos :)
Enter Super Club...
Growing up, I can always remember my parents having a once a month supper and game playing nights with their friends!  They would take turns bringing a potato, salad, desert, meat, drinks...they even had a snazzy chart :)  So last year we decided to start our own!  We each take turns hosting and bringing a meal, side dishes, desert, and we LOVE LOVE LOVE a good theme! 
So our last adventure was over in Lincoln and Danielle, Josh, and Coen hosted a 'Minute to Win It Theme'...the kids and adults both had a ball!!!  Best of all, she had some amazing prizes to give away at the end--sorry I don't have a picture of the fleece out of the shower man wrap :)
GAME ONE...Can you get 6 dice to balance on a tongue depressor?





GAME TWO...
Can you put a cut up cereal box back together(like a puzzle) in less then a minute?

Game THREE....
Is it possible to stack three golf balls on top of each other??  We almost all got at least two, but three is tricky!!!


Game FOUR...
Using nylons and a ball shoved in them, you had to swing your hips--no hands and move the ball on the floor with the ball in your nylons and knock over the cups at the end of the living room...this one was HILARIOUS!!!!

And FINALLY....
Can you get 5 Cheerios on your uncooked spaghetti noodle in 1 minute?  GO!

There were two games I didn't get pictures of, one of which you had to rub Vaseline all over your face and then get cotton balls to stick to your face, run across the room and get the cotton balls into your cup!!  The other was putting an Oreo on your forehead and trying to get it into your mouth without using your hands :)
