This is what we did at club yesterday....EGG BLOW. You take a clear tube crack a few eggs in it and see who can blow egg on the other ones face! I thought that we would do this a couple times and the kids would be sick of it....not the case, we went through a dozen eggs! The kids had a great time, and it was fun to watch too. The "lesson" part of club went over great too! I love tis series with the movie clips! Thanks for your prayers it was a huge success....now I've got to think of another gross game for next week.....maybe cow tongue toss or bob for octopus! Got any suggestions?

Club
Today is the first day of Club at the Bridge! Club is YFC's version of a youth group type meeting, but very non-christian friendly. I am really excited about it, and I hope that the kids like it.
The theme for the year is Get Connected and we are starting with a four week series entitled...It's All About Me...See Me, Hear Me, Know Me, Love Me. All of the lessons have clips from the movie The Freedom Writers (if you haven't seen this movie, go rent it, it is a great one!). Hopefully, Club is a place where the kids at the Bridge feel connected.
Tonight I am telling the story of Zaccheus and how he desperately wanted Jesus to notice him. We are also playing a game that involves a clear plastic tube and raw eggs, so it should be a good time. If you think of it say a prayer for me and the rest of my volunteers helping me out today!
Top 10 Worst Halloween Treats
I just read this and thought it was pretty good! Worst treats to hand out at Halloween!
1. Toothbrushes
2. Raisins
3. Candy Corn
4. Smarties and Necco Wafers
5. Dum Dum Lollipops
6. Apples
7. Tootsie Rolls
8. Misc. Wrapped Hard Candies
9. Laffy Taffy
10. Anything Fun Sized
This was on Yahoo today, and personally I don't agree with everything on this list. Ii like Laffy Taffy and Fun Sized Candy bars too....who in their right mind is going to buy full size candy bars and hand them out (I mean besides my Grandma Audrey, I don't know anyone that would do that) And Palmer Chocolate didn't make the list and it definitely should have....that stuff burns your throat as you swallow it...it's horrible! Also, don't you love those people who hand out dimes or old golf balls? I would have taken a tootsie roll over those anyday!

Basketball
Another year of basketball is in the books! We ended up being 8-3 which is a great record for middle schoolers! More than that though, I had a lot of fun with this team, they were all really sweet girls and hard workers. 
Last night we had our last game, and the varsity team came out to watch us. The girls were so excited! We won and then had a pizza party, it was fun night.
I hope that they all stick with it next year and go out for the 8th grade team, for some reason some of them get nervous that they aren't going to make it so they don't even bother trying out! I was talking to the middle school athletic director over at West Ottawa and they have a few volleyball and cheer leading coaching positions available if anyone is interested let me know!

Jonah Werner Concert
This is my friend Jonah and my mom and me, last fall when he came out to do a concert. I met Jonah out in Colorado when I was working at Noah's, he is an awesome musician and he is coming back to Zeeland! He will be here next Saturday night, I am so excited that he is coming back! I will definitely be going to see him and anyone else who is interested let me know....I'll even introduce you if you want! Check him out on youtube, itunes or his website www.jonahwerner.com!
The Mother Load!
I started sending candy to all my little friends out in Colorado a few years ago, and then started making treat bags for my little friends around here. Well lets just say that the number keeps growing and growing, so I have to get more and more candy. Monday night I made all my Halloween Treat Bags, and here is a picture of me with all of the candy that I started with! My mom always says that I am the queen of Halloween along with my Grandma, but I think she enjoys it just as much as we do. She always helps me with this project, and I think she buys more candy than I do!
Happy 1st Halloween Taylor!
So it's Taylor's first Halloween, and I had to carve her a pumpkin! Unfortunately a real pumpkin wouldn't make it to Denver in one piece, so it's a funkin...they are alright, but you can't get the small details as good as a real one. I thought it turned out alright though, it's my first one of the year...anyone else need a pumpkin carved this year..I'm taking orders!
My camera is driving me CRAZY...I couldn't get a good picture..sorry they are little blurry!
