toga party!

alright, so last weekend-ish... we had a bit of a toga party, sorta, it was an awesome murder mystery party set in the roman times, in the ides of February...:). so cory and i have played this game a few times, and we have more fun every time we play! but don't worry its been 2 years since the last time we played, and i cant even remember what i made for dinner tonight, much less the murder game.. so it was a refresher! either way, we had an awesome time! we had some friends who knew we had the game and they've been wanting to play it, and we figured we have 4 couples wanting to play, and the game needs four couples, so why not? so we planned and we bought food, and for the most part it was pretty darn authentic! except the potato's, but that was my fault (me being sherry) i can't have meat and carrots without potato's...that what i get for being raised by idahonians...:D.. (love you mommy and daddy<3) anywho.. so here's some awesome pics, a few have a blurry spot in them, lets just say i cant wait till mid-march when i finally get my new camera!!!!! :D....I'll explain the pics as we go along, no worries!!

this our newest friends Dave and Diane miller! they are an awesome couple, and they are so much fun! Dave played, harangus Adnauseum who was a (very stoic) roman senator, and Diane was Mercede's accelerati, who was the wife of the poor murder victim!

here's Cory and me and our two little servants..:D (the girls loved, and destroyed) their togas..

Cory played licentius Caesar, who was OBVIOUSLY the leader of the known world...and devoted friend to the murdered man, and i was the ravishing (and for now, pregnant...) cleptopatra, queen of the Nile... and true to my name i was a clepto...

this is Angela and Jerome Barrett and the ever adorable aurora! angela was flotilla submergia, and she owns and runs a large shipping company, and Jerome, was bogus fortunatus, and true to his name he was basically a fortune teller, he enjoyed ripping animals apart (like lions???:D) and telling you what to expect... and Rori was just cute...

next as everyone should know by now is Ben and Merritt finch! Ben was Caesars first in command, maximus testosterus! the renowned military commander! and Merritt was the beautiful vestal virgin (with 2 kids?? how'd that happen??) Rotunda immaculata! she was the one in charge of keeping the eternal flame alive!!ooooooooohhhhhhh....

these are the "boys" doing boyish things.... men...

and here's the girls being pretty...don't mind the baby bump.....:D believe me its there...

mmmmmmm wine... i mean,,,, grape juice...yeah that's it...

and heres angie giving her daughter some wine.. i mean grape juice...
we thought it was funny, pouring the contents of a wine bottle into a sippy cups....he he he..

more silly men..:D

anywho so yeah it was a good time! we had fun! and we're looking forward to forgetting it again so here in two or three years we can do it again!! :D...he he he.. any who.. me (being sherry) had an appointment the other day, they basically wanted to check the baby's heart beat, at our ultra sound they took pictures of the heart, which kind of made sherry feel weird, they told us that there was a white spot in a few of the ultra sound pictures, it was in the same place in all the pictures and that if there was more then one white spot, they would worry, but one white spot didnt worry them.. and it'll probably go away with time.. but at the ultra sound the technician remembered to listen to the heart beat but forgot to record it, so they wanted to re-record it. so we did, and baby Shaun has a heart rate of just under 150 beats a minute! which the Doctor said was fantastic! so yeah.. all is well, sherry's been having a lot of cramps and those fun little pains you get when your getting ready to have a baby, but she can handle it.. no biggie (thank heavens for nice hot baths...) cory is doing well with most things, his job is getting a little irritating, but whose job isn't? the girls are angels...when they arent being devils.... my house can go from immaculate to tornadoed in 10 minutes flat..... weeee... anywho., its late im sleepy enjoy! love you all!!
