Sammons Family Summer Games challenge #6 announced!

The winner of the Sammons Family Summer challenge #5 "JUST DANCE" was the Boogie Nights!  They beat the Saturday Night Fevers by a score of 112 to 93! The Boogie Nights team consisted of the middle son and middle daughter-take that Marcia Brady! All the moppets noted that this was the easiest and least stressful challenge yet! Hmmm....I can't decide how to take that. It was certainly the least stressful for me because it was entirely objective, but are the other challenges stressing my children out? That hardly seems possible!

Yes, this is at FAO Schwartz, but it's the only picture I have of the winners together, dancing.

There are two more challenges to finish out the Sammons Family Summer Games. Hopefully we will get them finished before everyone starts school again (the Tuesday after Labor Day). The final challenge is another completely objective event (i.e.-stress free), but the next challenge is not! The beauty is, I am not going to be the judge of the next challenge either! (Insert maniacal laugh here!) The winning team will be determined by on-line voting, and because it will mostly be word of mouth, part of their challenge is to cull the most votes for their team!


The challenge is to make a usable item from upcycled material! The parameters are simple.
      *The materials must be items that were used previously for another purpose (books, magazines, broom handles, fence posts), they may not, for example, use the sofa to make a sofa (so put the upholstery knife down kids).
      *The end result needs to be a usable item-envelopes from book illustrations is a do, ransom note pieced together from letters cut out of magazines is a don't!

I will post the completed objects on Friday with voting instructions and the moppets will have a chance to drum up votes over the weekend! We will announce the winner after voting closes at the end of the day Monday. Recycling, art, public relations, marketing, working under stressful situations created by your Mother-what more could you ask for!?!
