Minute to Win It!

Have you seen this game show? It's SO fun! Guy Fieri- yes the cook- or the Diners, Dive Ins, and Dives guy- is the host. How he went from food to game show hosts- I don't know. I know a lot of things- but this one I just don't have the answer to.
Anyhow- Ciara turned *gasp* 12- twelve- (or in her mind 12teen- I am pretty sure she already thinks she is a teenager) We decided to have a Minute to Win It game night for her birthday party. We had a blast.

So on the show- they come up with all different kinds of challenges- "blueprints" -and the contestants have 60 sec to complete the blueprint to win money- like a MILLION dollars BIG money~! They list all the challenges on the website so contestants can practice before they come on the show.

We changed the rules a little bit-
1. no practice before game night
2. no money for prizes (booooo)

We still had a blast and it was funny watching the kids do silly things- like try to get an Oreo cookie from their forehead to their mouth without using hands.

The prizes- filled with millions of dollars- LOL! yea right!
The food- Ciara's favorites- Mexican Pinwheels
Stuffed Mushrooms- yummy!

Chicken Enchilada dip-

and queso- of course-
GAME #1 BLUEPRINT-
Place 1 Oreo cookie on your forehead. Wiggle the cookie into your mouth with out the use of your hands. (on the show- you have to do 3 in 60 seconds)

ok go!

Hard to do when you are laughing so hard!


No hands!
Get it- get it! almost there!

Winner!!

GAME #2 BLUEPRINT-
Blow up the balloon and use your air from the balloon to knock pyramid of cups OFF the table. All cups must be blown off the table.

I thought some of the kids were going to pass out for sure!
Especially Caleb- he was turning red!

Go girls go!



GAME #3 BLUEPRINT-
Tie a yo-yo around pant loop on the back. Players must swing yo-yo to knock over pyramid of cups on table.
This was one was hard- and dangerous!
watchout for flying yo-yo's
Wade needed protection-
dizzy kids everywhere- LOL!
GAME #4 BLUEPRINT-
Place M&Ms on butter knife and lift it to your mouth and eat the M&Ms- this one was too easy
(on the show you have to make a little lever system- around your ears using string- but we didnt' get into all that)

Focus-
Present time!
New shades
My name is Awesome!
Watchout- new bike!

Yay- onto the cake....
wait a sec.... she is NOT turning 21-

ahhh.... much better-
With a new bike- comes new riders-
the girls-Ciara and her Nanny-

We had a great time. Ciara was so excited that her Nanny got to be there to enjoy the fun! She sure is growing up too fast. But I love every minute- she is so smart, athletic and good at just about everything she puts her mind to. I am proud of the young lady that she is- Happy birthday! We love you!!
