planning an event with brandon...

me: "BRANDON! can we do a hoe down?! i really want to throw a fall party for the high schoolers- line dancing, two step, hay rides, bobbing for apples, face paint...."

brandon: "that's not my ideal event, but okay alyssa...let's see how to work this."

me: "K, well, martin and ryan can do the dancing, jena can do face painting, hay rides in your truck. Maybe the O'briens can bring their horses for rides?"

brandon: "I'll catch a goat!"

me: "a goat!?"

brandon: "ya yea...it can be our mascot for the furnace. We can keep it in the youth room in a cage"

me: "how bout we give it away as a door prize!?"

brandon: "the kids wouldn't know what to do with it."

me: "True..." (i'm thinking of cleaning up after this goat- poop...smell...hmmmm...)

me: "okay, so it's going to be so fun! we can have the horse rides, and dancing..."

brandon: "we can do cardboard surfing behind the go cart"

me: "haha- what!?"

brandon: "and we can have skating behind the church- you know, harvest skating"

me: "let's save the skating for the skate park event!"

brandon "i don't think we should call it a hoe down"

me: "oh yea, i wasn't going too...a fall party? fall frenze?"

brandon: "what about a red neck theme!?"

me: "hmmm....."

brandon: "red neck night-red neck extravaganza"

me: "hmmm....fall frenze?"

brandon: "red neck"

me: "fall frenze"

leslie: "red neck hoe down"

yeah!

brandon "but red neck is more cargo theme..."

me: "hillbilly hoe down"

brandon: "but i really want to say extravaganza"

me: "hillbilly hoe down extravaganza"

done! and we're off....
