House full of Fruity LOSERS and 1 vanilla winner.

This week was a treat, we had gumbo with okra. okra was ok to me. To me it should be called oksortah. 

I usually only eat things like okra dipped and fried in fat, which everything tastes better that way. Except for maybe.. wait nope that too. I guess a slushy would not work, that is one thing that is better not deep fat fried. 

This was in gumbo which the kids ate all of it, so someone liked it. 

Gumbo, Jerry aid, and Lauren' luscious lemon cake (Angie's name for it). I usually really like Lauren's desserts but wow this was good one. I ate my piece before dinner so that I could get more than just crumbs, like last week. 

We also played a game, called Crazy Flippo Bridge. More on that later. 

Lots of pictures

First Off Kylie came early and helped and made some bouquets. Fall festive ones. 

Here Zeke and Elijah are hanging. I think Zeke is on his phone and Elijah is snoozing. 

This is how Elijah hangs at the Flippos. I took the liberty and made a few embellishments to his stache.

I think I really like this on him, he is engaged so I wonder what his betrothed would think of it?

Here is Jerry with his old man pose commenting on something. Jerry drinking his own Jerryaid!

Here is my dog getting loved up by Lauren. He loves the attention. 

Here is the older brother annoying the younger by messing with his guitar. 

Im going to call this the embellishment chair. This guy looks like he should be selling chicken!

Here is Judah up to something, you can see the oksorta gumbo. 

These two in deep discussion, maybe about 80s band t-shirts. Angie is not a heavy metal fan. 

They posed, I said he look like your nice for your parents. boom! they came through. 

By the way the question for the week was what kind of fruit would you be if you lived in some weird universe where you got turned into fruit. 

These two were pineapple and strawberry. 

I was a Gourd, just cause I like Gourds and no one eats them and just use them for Fall decor, which I would be good for I think. Place me on the porch with the hay bale and shucks of dry corn cause Im a Gourd!

Ok big news, Payton proposed like 15 minutes before they got to our house. Very nice. This maybe their first picture as engaged people. 

I made the ring into a ring pop, hahaha so funny. This is more practical cause she can lick it. 

Here are Collin Zeke and Hank. Hank is eyeing the ring pop wishing he had one

Here are some girls discussing what fruit they want to be turned into. 

Here they are again making their fruity choices. 

We had some hearty souls go eat outside (it was hot). No one wanted a campfire. 

Here is Nutters small group, I remember when Jason Nutter would not stay in one spot in Sunday school when he was little. Now he leads a small group, I wonder if they stay in one spot. Is it bad that I secretly hope they do not and he has to constantly say hey sit down!

Welcome Brenna, not sure what fruit she way. she is having corn bread. 

Got this picture of Jerry sitting with the ladies

Hayly, Hanna, and Emma getting their fruit on!

Jerry the pear, and Annabelle the strawberry, Chewie did not get a name tag, I think he would be a fruit that is smelly.

The boys man splainin to each other. 

Collin Mark Parker Judah, ready for eating! 

It's funny that we had the fruit question but not fruit for the meal. It's kind of mean if you think about it, Get your mind thinking about yummy fruit and that is all you can do is think about it. 

Here a few girls giving me the "go away" smile. I get this a lot, I usually go away, after I take a picture. 

Brady slicing off a piece of cake that makes your taste buds and pancreas get in an argument, throw dishes and hate each other. Brady's pancreas is losing the argument here. 

Ok so we played Crazy Flippo bridge and we had several tables that people would move up through if they won. The losers at each round had to do things. like accepting free advice from the winners, or doing loser jumping jacks, etc. 

Prosper here was the last loser to run around the house (another thing they had to do) and he had to wear "the silver suit". I have this silver piece of fashion for 3 decades, I bought it at a garage sale. There are pants and vest to go with it. They wanted 3$ for it but I talked them down to 1$. They snickered at me as I walked away. 

This was the 2nd best table

This was the low table down in the basement, tee hee, I forgot they were down there for a while. 

Here is the upper table, Haley Jayne here didn't like the basement room and vowed to stay up here. 

Ok so one of the things losers had to do was wear a "loser" sticker on their foreheads. Oh this game was so fun for me. I was like the ring master at a circus, jump monkeys jump!

Jerry is a loser. A happy loser. 

Emma = loser

Jason was a loser on the phone

This table got to sit on the comfy chairs We played this game for several hours. I was amazed at how many people didn't know how to play spades. 

Loser Judah in the basement, there are spiders down there as well

Canteloupe Brenna loser

You will notice that Brenna is at the loser lower table a lot. 

Here is our overall winner Hudson, he won a bottle of Honduras Vanilla, way to go Hudson. It was just coincidence that the bottle matched his shirt, or maybe it wasn't?
