Chubby Bunny

Well, I bought Nicola a T-shirt from work the other day. Long story short - it was too small, so I thought about giving it to my sister. Then Nicola suggested giving it to one of her sisters instead (sorry Lisa). Since there was only one shirt and a boatload of sisters, I had to come up with a contest for the week of the Aspen Grove Reunion where the winning sister would recieve a free Border Patrol T-shirt. I was trying really really hard to come up with a fair contest that would not give an obvious advantage to any one sister. A few days into the cafeteria-style eating which is Aspen Grove fare, an idea came to me. There I was slurping my blue Jell-O, and wondering how many grapes I could fit in my mouth, when I decided that we needed to play chubby bunny for the prize. Brady and Randi were coming up later that day, so I called Randi and had her pick up 3 bags of marshmallows for me. I played as well, and I got at least 8, maybe 9. I don't really remember. I remember not being able to breathe, choking, and probably swallowing 3 whole marshmallows while attempting to breathe through a mouthful. The winner was Audra. Don't ask me how, but she got 11 in there without cheating. So Audra - was it worth it?

Our WINNER - Chubby Audra

Chubby Char just can't compete

Jess had to be force-fed his chubby bunny food.

This was the second time I tried playing that night to see if I could beat Audra. I couldn't. I really should not have tried this a second time. It hurt.

so as I was reading this, I was thinking about other classic food contests...remember that pie eating contest we had in the fall of 2002? *sigh* memories! Happy Anniversary (early)!

Good effort! And thanks to Conni for the funny walk down memory lane...I can't decide which is funnier-the horrified look on the boys' faces, or the pumpkin pie I had in my hair for about a week.
Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary in a few days! Does Nicola get a nice gift as well from the motorcycle fund. It seems only fair. Love, Mom
