Friday Date Night

Friday was "Carnival Day!" At least according to my calendar.



So Jacob and I had a date night in. We played several carnival games that I found on the Internet and some that were a little 'old school.'

First up: Tic-Tac-Toss.


I lost 3 games out of four. But I still had a good time playing.

Next on the list was the classic donut on a string game. I guess I sort of lost that one too because Jacob finished his donut first. But he did have a head start since I was taking some photos first.



Then came a bean game. The object of this game was to move as many beans from one plate to the next using a straw and no hands. Basically that meant suctioning beans to the straw. And basically it resulted in a lot of lightheadedness.

We ended the evening with a classic cake walk. Jacob won again but I sort of think I was a winner because I still got a piece of cake.

It was a good time overall.

And for those who have been keeping track, yes, I have been a bit of a slacker this month on the calendar holidays. I missed a couple in Vegas but I'm not sure they were important ones, things like "love you pet day, and be humble day." I guess I've decided I'm okay with not being 100% in my celebrations.
