graduation party

sorry for the bad photos of the party, they were taken with my tiny camera. i got off work, ran home and frosted the cupcakes and then people started coming over and the fun took over me taking pictures! it was a really good time. the smartest thing to do for a party is to say yes to everyone that offers to bring something. people brought artichoke spinach dip, a fresh fruit salad, bruchetta, edamame, marinated wings with blue cheese dip and tortilla and mediterranean hummus. my friends are really good cooks.

i had everyone come prepared to teach something they had learned in grades K-college. anything at all. here is what people came up with:
  • how to make a bb gun from a mechanical pencil and rubberband
  • how to fold paper into a heart for passing notes
  • how to make yourself and/or others faint (not fully demonstrated)
  • how to text message while still seeming fully intrigued in what the teacher is saying
  • how to say i love/want you in 4 different languages
  • how to look pregnant if you are a man
  • how to throw a gang sign (blood) with your hands
  • how to spin a pencil in your hands
  • how to tahitian dance (the girls and guys learned separately and then we performed for eachother)

I love the idea of having people come prepared with something to share; what a great way to get everyone all loosened up. The food sounds so yummy too; I could live entirely on party food...
