Preparing for Battle: The Pie Fight.

Good morning you guys! 

And Happy St. Patrick's Day to ya, too! 

(Imagine that said in a beautiful Irish trill)

I woke up twenty minutes ago with that awesome "It's Saturday" feeling. The husband is still in bed, snoozing. We've both had a long couple of days and it's so wonderful that the weekend is finally here. Lots of late nights/early mornings, tests, quizzes, rehearsals (more on that for a different post, methinks), frustrations that come with being newlyweds, and the joys of being newlyweds.

I have some pretty exciting news.

I AM GETTING IN A PIE FIGHT TODAY. 

There will be pictures. 

There will be laughter.

There will be joy. 

(Was anyone else thinking There Will Be Blood? haha I promise there won't be.)

I've been looking forward to today since last Sunday when I heard about our ward's Pi Day Activity. Plenty of people are making pies for us to eat and plenty of pies will be made for throwing.

You know wanna know what I'll be doing?

THROWING THEM PIES.

But srsly. I can't wait to have a pie thrown in my face. I hope it doesn't hurt. >< haha I hope it's as awesome and fun as I've always thought it would be. 

Just for a moment, take a travel with me down memory lane.

I'm seven.

At my dad's apartment complex.

We're watching Saturday morning cartoons together in our pajamas. 

My brother is eating cereal.

We're on Nickelodeon.

And then a family pie fight ensues on tv.

Whipped cream everywhere.

Glasses smeared with pie filling.

The Dad thinking, "This is what I call family bonding time."
The Son thinking, "My sister's so dumb looking with pie all over her face!"
The Sister thinking, "I hate my brother *cry cry cry*"

The Mother thinking, "It's going to take a long time to get these stains out."

hahha

So amazing.

I turned to my dad and said, "I want that to happen to us."

He laughed for a really long time.

:)

AND TODAY IS THE DAY.

The day I've been waiting for.

13 years in the making.

It's finally here.

I need to come up with a hand sign like Katniss gives to District 12 from The Hunger Games. 

Okay, you guys.

The battle commences in T-minus 2 and a half hours.

May the best thrower win.

Superhero capes, cuponk, and fried chicken.

Last night we had ourselves a rowdy game of Cuponk!
THAT'S SOBER BEER PONG, FOOLS.
You may think we're drinking alcohol, but not so.
:]
It was actually apple cider and egg nog.
So we're calling it APPLE CIDER EGG NOG PONG.
BAM.
(Try to say that 5 times fast)

We started out the game by each taking a turn wearing my superhero cape.

Victory.

From this point on, we had the winners of each card wear the superhero cape.
Then we found out the characters on the cards had special outfits on, too.
Which, oddly enough, I had those articles lying around the house.

Nooooo!

Tim laying down the law.

Rawr. I'm Chelsea.

Zac won!
So...

He had to wear the tutu, head band, and super hero cape!
Bahahaha.

This isn't too embarrassing, honey. I promise.
*Note- I never won a card. :[

[SCENE BREAK]
I tried very hard to make my grandmother's fried chicken recipe tonight.
My mother passed it down to me...
Just as I shall pass it down to my daughter.
*Wise gaze into the distance*

THIS. WAS. HARD.
Oh.Em.Gee. was it difficult.
But Zac helped me, thank goodness.

I see you, sugar stealer.

Dinner for two.

In the end, the dinner was quite delicious.
We just wanted more of it.
Wah wah wah!
First world problems.
