M had her first middle school event last weekend. Interesting. It was even messier than it looks, folks. They are playing with Jell-o.
You better believe John and I were there to watch out for our girl.
Let me go through the pictures above for you and explain a little bit of the craziness of this event!
Top left: the kids' leaders had to give an answer quickly to our middle school pastor's quiz or they got a face full of exploding 7-Up.
Top right: This was one of the stations. 2 people take a tube full of jell-o and blow into each end. The person with the weaker set of lungs gets a exploding face full of jell-o. In the case above, the loser decided to turn the tube on her opponent! Smart girl.
Bottom left: John ran the Bobbing for Gummy Worms station. You can see him in the green shirt. The kids were to stick their faces into the kiddie pool full of red jell-o and pull out the gummy worms. Kind of gross, right? REALLY gross when you think about how each of the teams got a shot at this one. Once the worms were pulled out, they were put right back in for the next team and mixed up with several pairs of hands. By the end of the night, nearly 100 faces, mouths, tongues had been all over that jell-o and the worms in it. :) Germ-fest.
Bottom right: Taken at the end of the Jell-o War. This picture give you a good idea of how much jell-o many of the kids had on them by the end of the night. I hope their parents remembered to bring plastic to cover their seats for the ride home.

Here's one during the war:
So how did M come out, you might be wondering?
She just about came home spotless until a friend decided she was way too clean.
How she feels about this is written all over her face. She had fun, but getting covered in jell-o is just not her thing.
