Limbo/Chief Dirty Donk

July 17th, 2010

I think I had more fun tonight than I did any other night. We worked from eight until two even though it's Saturday, so we could get more accomplished since we only have two working days left. I ended up shoveling dirt and cleaning up the school for when the kids come back on Monday. Oh, we also moved all of the blocks...for the third or fourth time.

As work was ending everybody was talking about going to Nora's because apparently that's what was decided as today's activity yesterday. I wasn't informed of this but I was like alright that's chill. So all eleven of us (Julia is sick and Sarah C. didn't want to come) piled into the back of the pickup. Five people got out at Michelle's house, while the rest of us headed to Nora's. We chilled for a little bit and the crew of five joined us, and we had a ton of food. There was tortillas with grilled chicken and beef, fruit loops, crackers, and marshmallows with sweetened condensed milk on them covered in coconut. I had like a bajillion of those.

We made friendship bracelets with the kit Nora gave her little sister Kimberly. Kim and her friend Yasmine made us all bracelets, and then Sarah McDonagh made us woven ones with colors of our choice. I was then questioned heavily on horseback riding, because Matt said it wasn't a sport so I had to argue. Then he wanted to know what a competition is like and a whole ton of other stuff, and yada yada yada.

After that we all went to the garage to dance, and a limbo competition was started. I didn't think I was going to be that good but I surprised myself. It was clear that the three best people were me, Dan, and Karchye. We took the little kids on our backs and went under the bar with them, which they absolutely loved. Kerry took Morgan on his back and started bucking around. You really had to be there but it was wicked funny.

After that was through we had a legit competition between the top three. Karchye was first, I came in second, and Dan came in third. We're all pretty beast at it. After Nora's house we all piled into Marc and Caitlin's car and they dropped us off at our houses. Dan and I went to Morgan's house and watched some family guy that Marc and Caitlin let us borrow.

After that we went home, and now the day is done. I've gained at least ten pounds from this trip. I was going to say something else, but now I forget. Oh well. Got em. Dan and I keep wearing our Special Olympic shirts on the same days. Today was one of those days, and Marc wore his bright green shirt today too, so we all matched. How cute.

Apparently it's been decided that I have the best last name out of the bunch. I said I don't really like it, that it's nothing special, but Marc said I sound like a badass GI Joe. So now all the guys call me Smallridge in this intense army tone. It's pretty sick.

A couple of days ago Marc fell face first into a trench that was only like a foot and a half wide while trying to dig out the dirt so they could pour cement into the column. I had to help him out, and then he said beanstalk had to get in there and finish scooping the dirt out. That's me. Kerry helped grab the bucket when it was full and dump it someplace else, so we go tot talk a lot during that. because the trench was so small and there was dirt on one side only, my boob ended up getting dirty. Just my boob. So Morgan came up with the nickname of Chief Brown Boob. Also, when I was climbing out of the trench my butt got dirty, so Kerry came up with Chief Dirty Donk. I still like GI Joe Smallridge the best.
