Couples Book club

R and I hosted the one book club meeting of the year where

the ladies get to bring their men. The book that was chosen for

this meeting was Ender's Game. As usual our buffet was overflowing

with goodies (the main reason the club got renamed to Delicious Reads)

I made some "bugger" cupcakes, I know that the aliens in the book

are supposed to be brown, but nothing says alien invasion like neon

green. I then lead the discussion via a jeopardy game, where the group

was split into two teams. The questions centered around the themes

of war/game strategy, ethics, symbolism, foreshadowing, and the

comparing and contrasting of other books/movies representations

of utopian societies and "alien" races being hostile or peaceful.

I had three daily double challenges hidden in the game board, that

if won would grant double points to a question answered correctly.

The challenges included speed accuracy/timed total damage, accuracy,

and a dual. Nerf guns were used to complete all of the challenges.

After the book discussion people continued having duals... they were

that fun. Im sure Ill be finding lost nerf bullets for the next few years

hidden in my yard.

Jared brought their new little puppy to visit.

Jasper is amazing. Since I have seen my fair share of

Cesar Milan I thought I would try my puppy taming

skills, I guess I was better than I thought.
