Prince Caspian----Opening Day

Frank preordered the tickets for the 4:45pm show and arranged for a limousine to pick the girls up. As they all got off the bus looking a little frazzled from their school day, I told them to go wash up a little and fix their hair because their ride would soon be arriving. Keep in mind, they didn't know about the limo, so most completely ignored me and went right out and started jumping on the trampoline. I didn't want to give the "cool ride" away, but I didn't want them to go stinking either. I finally said, "Mr. Frank is on the way and he said to be ready. Now come in and brush your hair and put on some more deodorant!" With that said, they piled in and ran upstairs and got ready. When the limo pulled up, they were waiting on the front porch. The girls were all gawking and wondering who was getting the ride in style. As it was pulling in, a back window was rolled down and there was Frank, hollering something at the girls.(insert: Frank is a kid trapped in a man's body)
The girls were all like, "Sweet! We're going in that! So Cool! etc..." They all got in and they were off to the movies.




I had a few hours to get all the food ready and games prepared for when they all returned. Hubby tried to fit in school work during this time so that he could actually enjoy the party later.

When they did return, they ate and answered questions pertaining to the movie and how it compared biblically. They all commented and seemed to really enjoy the movie. (especially Prince Caspian himself) They said he was "Hot!"

We played a few games with the girls, including Queen for a Day", and "The ugliest person in the World." (also, hide'n seek---yes, that's someone in our clothes dryer)In Queen for a Day, the participants were blindfolded one at a time, and led in to bow before the king (hubby). In order to be crowned queen, they were told to lean down and kiss the kings ring, (which was on my finger, but they couldn't see this part.) When I took the blindfold off, hubby had his foot propped onto the table with a ring on his big toe, to make them think that they had kissed his foot.(another insert here: Hubby's big toenail was completely black from an old injury---disgusting!) It was hilarious and one girl actually about got sick.

In The Ugliest Person in the World game, Frank put a big blanket over himself. I told the girls privately that the joke was actually on Frank, and when they peeked under the blanket(one at a time), they were to scream and pass out. In reality, the joke was on the last participant, because when she peeked, Frank screamed and passed out,(girl in green--she was a good sport.)



It seemes a good time was had by all!!! And you know what's cool, I feel like I'm really connecting with the teens, something I have been praying about. It's amazing how when God calls us somewhere to do his work--He's faithful to mold us into exactly who he needs us to be!

Hey, I remember all those same gags played on me when I was #1's age. Except I had to kiss your fathers feet.
