Valentine's Day Dodge Ball?!


What a fun date! We got together with 5 other couples for Valentine's Day and played Dodge Ball! Strange date idea, especially for V-Day, but ohhhh so fun! We ate dinner at the church - we all pitched in and made something and it was delicious. I made the oh-so-yummy Brownie Triffle from my sisters' recipe. Instead of putting it in a bowl, I made little individual servings with the clear plastic cups. Very cute (I should've taken a picture of them, they really were adorable). After dinner, we played Dodge Ball in the gym. We started out with our spouses, and then we mixed the teams up. I tried so hard to get Brad out, but never could do it. The boys were a little dangerous with the balls, so we made a rule that if they were going to throw at a girl, they had to use their left hand. It was hilarious to see them throw, but still, they could aim! After a while, the boys played BBall and the girls played a fun game of PIG. Remember the days in the summer at the neighbors bball hoop (before we had ours)? Playing Lightning and PIG? What fun, what fun! So our V-Day was super fun, but the next 2 days were something else! I haven't had sore muscles like that since high school. I'm not getting old, just out of shape! Or is it the other way around?! I don't know which is worse, or more humiliating to admit too :)

  1. It looked like LOTS of fun. Dodgeball can get a little crazy, I'm surprised no one ended up crying. Hehe jk. Good choice with the brownie trifle, my favorite dessert. I'm sure it was a hit! I had to laugh about you being sore the next couple days. I remember when I first played Wii Tennis I was sore for days...yeah probably shouldn't admit that. Glad you had a fun night.

  2. Glad that you had a great time. What a fun idea. I'll have to remember that one for a future group idea. I love the brownie trifle and thought about it a few days ago--I'll have to try the individual cups. Top Chef! Hope you have recovered from the event. :)

  3. How fun! And, I must agree with you and Cami - I "wii boxed" with my 8 year old one day . . . the next day I had to have TR lift my head so I could get out of bed!! I was SO sore! And it's possible that we're both out of shape AND old - - but never admit to either!! :)
