Talent Show Ideas

I don't know about all of you, but sometimes I get a huge brain freeze when it comes to coming up with a talent that I have. I sometimes think that the only talent is musical. Well, maybe it is because I already know what my family is doing (and yes, it is musical) but all of a sudden I have a whole bunch of ideas of things that we could be doing for the talent show. I thought I would share a list, so that maybe you too can be inspired and come up with something wonderful for the talent show.

- jump roping. Any of your kids a great jump roper?

- gymnastics. I can do a great cart wheel, what can you do?

- magic tricks.

- counting in another language.

- William can eat a whole crayon . . .

-drawing (bring it along)

-cooking/baking. If you make a mean cheese cake, I would not be at all disappointed to eat your talent for dessert.

- origami

- dancing

- acting. Maybe you could prepare a fantastic monolog. (I know, it's not spelled right.)

-SPELLING!! (This clearly, is not one of my talents.)

-juggling (I know someone who can juggle AND play the harmonica at the same time!)

- singing

-play a musical instrument

- making a three pointer every time. (Is that correct basketball jargon?)

- chugging a 20 oz soda in one breath

-how many marshmallow can you stuff in your mouth?

-blowing a giant bubblegum bubble

-whistling

-snapping your fingers (this is something that I can't do.)

Hope this helps get your creative juices flowing. I look forward to seeing what you all have in store for us.

crafts

Hey, everyone! I have the opportunity to order crafts from Oriental Trading through a local co-op. I was wondering if you guys would be interested in having these crafts for the littles to do during the reunion? There are Thanksgiving and Christmas crafts. They all come presorted and bagged. The list of crafts that come in each kit is HERE.

If we don't end up ordering them for the reunion, I can still order for you and I'll bring them to the reunion and you can take them home to do at home.

Let me know what y'all think!

Hello!

If you haven't noticed, this is the blog for the reunion. This is my portion of the reunion that I've been tasked to do. HOWEVER, it is NOT just a Cherstin-job. This is for EVERYONE to post on. It might be easier to post here for things and ideas and eventually it would be nice to have multiple contributors and points-of-view of the reunion itself. We are hoping that it will eventually become a place to communicate with the family outside of facebook and our own separate blogs. It might be fun to share funny stories, thoughts, recipes, etc, using this medium as well. I have sent invites for you to be an author to a representative from each family, if you have not received one, email me and I will send it out again.
