Color Me Mine and Game Night - the sequel




The ladies went to Color Me Mine yesterday afternoon and painted pottery. For those who don't have any idea what I am talking about - it is a place where you choose a piece of unfinished pottery and you paint it (some people get really extravagant with their designs) and then it is glazed and fired and then you pick up your new piece a few days after you paint it. Lee and I (Nan and Jenna have gone too) have been there a couple of times and while Jennifer was here and Brooke was home from William and Mary, we decided it would be a fun thing for us all to do. So, we went and we had a great time. I actually painted two things which for me is saying quite a lot because my stuff usually looks pretty bad after it is fired, and who knows it may be no different this time too. When we were done there we decided to meet up with all the guys at California Pizza Kitchen for dinner. Well, they didn't take reservations and it was REALLY cold so Lee suggested we all go back to their house and order in pizza and play games. We had a great time! We played a coin game called Left, Right, Center, and we played Taboo. But the game of the evening was a new one that Lance taught us called "Farkle". Well, there were a few there who just couldn't get past the name so it took Lance quite a while to be able to tell us how to play it. I will have to say he is quite patient but he is excitable. I don't know what was more fun, watching him try to teach us Farkle or watching him play Taboo - such a blast! Then we moved into the living room where Lance played the piano for us. Lee and Savanna played a little bit too, and Lee sang - I had no idea she had such a pretty voice! I will try to upload the video of Lance and Savanna playing - lets just say she needs to stick to dancing - :-)
