Halloween Birthday Party - Part 2

2 days late - but here is part 2.  Game Time!  Each family had to bring a game.  Aunt Sara and Rachel did a spin off from beer pong.  Ping pong eyeballs had to be tossed/thrown across the room into a cauldron (1pt), pumpkins (2pts), scary glasses (3pts) or a goblet (5pts)!  


My mom and I were a team.  Let's just say I did not carry my own weight.  I think I scored 1 pt then entire 3 rounds or however many we played.  Just one more piece of evidence that shows I studied more in college than partied :)
If I remember correctly - Grandma & Aunt Ed won this game!

Next game required eating a donut off of a string without using your hands.  This idea came from a picture of me dressed as a lion in kindergarten trying to eat a bat (a donut w/ paper bat wings stuck in it off a string).  Well with the making of meat loaf hands and other things, my mom and I did not get to making bat wings, so we just lined up the family and had them go at it - donuts on a string.
Again, not allowed to use your hands and the first one to finish, full swallow, won!

Here's a video of the game.  


As you watch, notice there are a few different strategies being utilized.
Aunt Ed - not sure what happened here, but her donut flew across the room, she recovered it, but was not able to come out victorious.

Aunt Tina - stuck the entire donut in her mouth and chewed it string and all until the donut was freed.  She was our weiner!

Grandma - tried to pull the donut off the string with her teeth, trying to get the string to cut through the donut - not so successful.  


Next game, seen below, is called Pumpkin Puss!


Rules:  teams of 2, one person ties a trick-or-treat pumpkin around their waist, so it falls in the proper location.  Partner stands across the room & tosses candy corn (eww...) into their pumpkin puss.


Round 2 - switch partners and repeat

Action shot!


All in all we had a great night of family fun.  After game night we headed downstairs and were disappointed to find out that Aunt Ed had already watched Zombie Strippers, so we ended up watching something else.  I'm kidding - seriously, who watches something called Zombie Strippers!
