Yeah, so, it was fun.
I would say that a majority of the folks had a blast - a few, not so much. Will we do it again? (As Joy from My Name is Earl would say) “Oh, Heeyyyyllllll No!” but let’s get on with the recap.
At past parties, we’ve always had a handful of jolly guests that arrive much too early (like while I still have shampoo in my hair, early). This time it was gloriously different. Due to the Toga or No-Go theme of the evening, our guests were a little more bashful than punctual. I’m thinking all future parties (if they exist) will have a costume requirement. Live and learn, right?
While the men were more shepherd like.
I waited for wise men to follow, but there were none.
These 2 took home the Cutest Couple Award.
My husband set up the games outside. The first was a scooter relay race.
He drew a chalk course on the asphalt driveway.
Riders wound around and around cones to a table.
At the table, you had to consume a shot of Goldschlager,
get back on your scooter and race home.
I can’t tell you who won but we had a blast. Boy, did our feet hurt the next day! We learned the hard way about using our bare feet as brakes. Fred & Barney we are not.
By the time the relay races were over, it was too dark to move on to the second game (Thank the Lord Almighty) that was located far out in the yard. My husband had set up an ATV pull which led into a tug of war match over a tarp covered in canola oil.
I repeat: A tug of war match over a tarp covered in canola oil. Do you see what I’m dealing with here?
It was an Animal House Party in more ways than I care to share. By the end of the night, we all had blood on our togas (my husband sliced his finger while cutting lemons), blackened feet and some people (the ones that wore homemade togas) were not entirely clothed. My brain is still recovering from having unwanted images seared into it without warning but I guess that is to be expected in these situations.
As usual, I amused myself.
And next time? I’m totally going to tribal council and voting the nekkid people out.
Look at you and your gorgeousness!!! So swan-like on the scooter.
You all know how to throw a party.
Super picture of you on the scooter. the women look pretty good, while the men….err…
You are so gorgeous! And that sex kitten hair! Damn, woman!
Ew. EW. Not you, you look gorgeous as usual. I’m thinking about unexpected and unwanted flashes of nekkid parts.
Dayum, a hottie toga party - and me, too many states away to attend! I totally woulda tore my curtains down for you.
Yick! The nekkid people are gross. Love the post and your toga pics. Too fun!
Wow! I can’t imagine having that much fun. The scooter race sounds awesome. Those things are more work than you’d think. Ya’ll sure do know how to throw a party! Canola oil and Goldschlager.
Looks like it was a lot of fun!!! My kind of party!
Dude! That looks SO fun!! You look amazing, as always.
I am so jealous that I missed all of the fun (although the scooter races would have done me in)!
Good Lord! I’m so glad I live many states over because I could not hang. Well, untrue. I could hang, but the searing Sunday images would kill me.
Mostly, I want to know: is there a flatscreen tv in your garage?
Oh, you girls look so cute. Those are classy togas!
We used to have Toga parties. Most of us wore our clothes underneath for when the old sheet, I mean TOGA, fell off because we were so drunk. Yep, those were the days.
What a fun party!! Looks like you guys had a blast. We go to a couples Halloween party every year where not only is a costume required but aslo a skit to promote your costume. I was cracking up at the begining of your post because my man and I are going as Earl & Joy! We know they’re not married but we’ve got all kinds of fun sayings memorized for our skit and to say during the party. We’re looking forward to it.
I’m still laughing over the tug-o-war concept. Great photos, great party!
