We love April so far cont.


2) At home dates
We have been trying to have better quality time with each other after Avery goes to bed. This was just one idea. 

*warning: the following IS very cheesy
We had our first annual Upchuck games, get it, our last name is Charles... crap this is cheesy. It gets even worse. We had our own team names and uniforms. My team was "The Milester's" and Trav's was "The Travesty." See below

The following events took place:

Soccer: Milli had a surprising upset, beating Travis 3-2 in a very slippery outdoor game.

Boggle: It was no surprise that Travis won by a large margin. He is wordy.

The next event was the card game Mille Bournes. Milli had a great start, but in the end, could not get her flat tire fixed and Travis took full advantage, so he took the gold on this event.

Socks: This event was a long drawn out process. It took 4 months of missing socks from the laundry that have been in a huge sack and only 5 minutes for us both to rummage through it and find the matching pairs. Milli may have invented this game to force Travis to contribute to the laundry, but in the end Milli found more matches.

Puzzles: We emptied 4 of Avery's puzzles and timed each other to see who the fastest puzzler was. Travis beat Milli by 7 seconds.

The next event was the move game: You know, that one game where you are standing face to face, and you can only touch each other's hands, and the first person to loose their balance looses. It was a stupid game that, once again, Milli lost at.

Texas Hold-em: Milli had some hot cards and some good bluffing techniques and she pulled of the big W on this on

The last event was intense, it was Name that Tune: This is usually Milli's strongest event, as she can usually recall any singer on the radio. Going into this last event, Travis was up 4-3. If he pulled of the win, then he would clinch the gold medal, but if not, we would have to go into sudden death. The end result was... ... Travis pulled the huge upset. The crazy thing about it was that he beat Milli with Shania Twain and LeAnn Rimes. Milli really choked!


The winner


The Loser


The Results. I'll get you next time Travis
