Do we have to grow up?

For my 29th birthday, I decided to have a kids party. I figure that since this is the last year I can be silly and irresponsible, why the hell not? Word on the street is that 30 is when you are obliged to become responsible and are officially considered a "Grown Up".

So we celebrated like a bunch of inebriated children! Can you imagine!? We ate Marie biscuits with icing and sprinkles, loads of chips, sweetie necklaces and sour sweets. We also played Twister….

I’ll try set the scene… 12 not-so-supple people who have all had a schnapps, a couple "Oopstadts" (vodka and Fanta Orange, drunk like a JagerBomb) and large amounts of wine, beer or Smirnoff and a Twister 'board', and no spinner. Six people playing at a time with someone shouting out random colours, left/right, hand/foot commands. Six people, bending over with bums in faces, trying to position themselves as cleverly as possible. This is not possible! This experience then morphs into a tangle of bodies. People turn around and we are suddenly faced with the crotch to face scenario. And of course people grab onto anything to keep their balance. This is how many a friendship is forged!

After about 3 rounds of Twister, everyone kind of wandered away from the board, some looking ashamed others looking quite happy with themselves.

This then led to the game "I never". Always a goodie and great for shock value! Of course the game only really works if everyone understands it! A friend of mine, who is not big on instructions, kept getting confused. She drank for the most bizarre things, like "Have you ever had sex on a jungle gym?" It was most entertaining!

All in all, it was good party! The photo's are a great testament to the fun we had!

I spent Sunday either in bed or on the couch, relaxing, and feeling surprisingly good, except for being tired. Phillygirl and I ate chips and dip, snacked on a never-ending supply of sweets. And it really is a never-ending supply! We have a huge bag of sweets!! Enough to keep 10 children hyperactive for a week!

But true to my resolution, they will have to be severely rationed, unless I am running while eating them!
