Funny Bones

A couple weekends ago I played one of the funniest games, it is called "Funny Bones." Cynthia and I had a couple of people come over to her house to play some games and Jeffery brought this. I have never laughed so hard. :)

So here is a little background. For this game you split up into partners one boy and one girl and draw a card off the ground and do what it says. On the card it tells you something like Head bone connected to the Shoulder bone with a number on it stating how many points its worth. So one of the partners puts their head on the other's shoulder with the card in between. The object of the game is to be the last couple standing with the most points. If you drop a card you are out, or if you can't do what it says you are out. There are also Funny Bone cards which act like wilds and can be placed anywhere you don't already have a card.

Alright so here we all are getting ready to split up into teams. There is me, Cynthia, Jeffery, Phillip, Vanessa, Michael, Eric and his brother Adam. So I kinda like Jeffery and Phillip so I am thinking I have a good shot at being with someone I like. Eric says he has to leave but Adam wants to stay and play a few rounds. The moment comes and Vanessa grabs Phillip, Michael and Cynthia get paired up and Jeff is going to show us how to play so who does that leave me with.....ADAM! A kid I just met, haha only my luck.









Everyone is getting easy cards, like head bone to shoulder bone, hand bone to shin bone, knee bone to knee bone. OH NO not Adam and I we get the most random cards. Hip bone to hip bone and nose to nose bone. And there is Cynthia's mom just taking pictures like mad cuz we are so entwined with each other it looks like we are making out! We played a second time and we were going to switch partners but Adam thought we worked well together. Haha needless to say we got pretty close pretty fast!

Need Birthday Game Ideas

So as all of you know I just LOVE my birthday! And I love birthday parties. So every year I try to have an extremely fun birthday party. Last year was a costume party, and it was a blast! Everyone showed up in costume and danced the night away...oh it was my favorite! Well this year I have been thinking about what I wanted to do and me and the girls at work came up with a Carnival theme party. I am super excited!!

So I have been brainstorming about what to have at this carnival and have a few ideas. What I am really lacking is stuff for the adults to do (yes I invite EVERYONE to my birthday parties). So far I have a bean bag toss, dart board, fishing pond, face painting, guess the jelly bean jar, and tin can ally. All of these seem to be more for the kids than the adults, so I am asking you bloggers for help in coming up with games for the adults to play. Also I don't want people to have to sit at a booth all night and not enjoy the festivities any ideas on how to set up the carnival? Thanks anything will help me out!!
