EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

hey guys can you remind me of some of your favorite games or activities from Halloween when you were a kid? I remember things like bobbing for apples and cakewalks and that type of thing.
or some little two-person contest type of thing for kids.

okay, I don't do much with Halloween either but how about some sort of fall game we still like hang things and you couldn't use your hands like trying to eat an apple on a string, and had to eat it as fast as you could or there were other games but I don't remember them. so do you have something like that in your culture?

we are doing an event for kids at church and you have to decorate a trunk/vehicle in some sort of fall theme and give out candy but I was trying to think of a game/contest that I could do between two kids. It has to be something reasonably quick. In fact, if you had an idea that would be even cooler because it would be different.

Yes I can bring some Ideas
1.Inserting candle to a bottle commotion
You need: 3 -5 candles each one tied to a piece of string.
And 3-5 bottles. Ties the string to which the candle is attached to the waist of the competitors. Next to each competitor you place an empty bottle, and they have to put the candle into the bottle without the help of hands. If you want to make it herder tie the string to their back side.
2. Sack jumping competition. 3-5 sacks they put them like trousers and they have to jump to a Finnish line.
3. Rope pulling competition
4.Balloon Blast Competition. The competition is a pair competition . You need 3-5 pairs of children. The children need to grasp each other while faceing each other. Then you put an inflated balloon between them, and they have to blow up the balloon without the help of hands just using their body.

Sharing a conversation I had with my Dad last night....

I was telling him about Eric standing over me watching me skin and process a young chicken that got into the dog yard last week, stupid chicken, anyways I was already in my pjs and he refused to process it, so I went at it, with his pocket knife, he thought it extremely amusing to watch. He wanted to throw it to the woods for the critters. I guess I've come a long ways at this point 🤣 with the chicken processing. Anyways, he was fairly quiet while watching, but when I got to gutting it he seen those orange balls and he said with awe "WOW how could she eat all those tomatoes and not choke to death" I quickly looked up at him to see if he was serious and by gorsh he was!!! Now who had the biggest laugh?

As I told my Dad the story he insisted Eric knew they were yolks, I argued he honestly had no idea. Lol. The interesting part about the conversation with dad was his story. When he was a kid, the family was very very poor, his mom and young 11 years old sister worked for a local chicken farm processing chickens. The only parts they could take home was the ovum aka yolks from gutting the chickens, and very few scraps. He said my Nana brought home a bucket of yolks daily and they pretty much lived off them. This is why they had so much pot pie, dutch pot pie. Perhaps why heart disease is in family.... potpie was poor man's food along with groundhog and whatever else they caught or hunted. Dad became a very good hunter st a young age out of necessity and the praise and love he got from helping to feed the family fish and good meats like grouse, pheasant, rabbits etc.

The potpie.... A little bit chicken or bones made a broth, some salt. Celery and parsley from the garden. These yolks they scavenged mixed with flour rolled out and dried on table. Cut into squares and set to cook in broth. To this day, it's a family favorite meal. We had alot of squirrel and rabbit potpie growing up.

Be grateful, we never know when all this spoiled goodness will be gone. Count your blessings as things can be worse at anytime, because even in the worst of times, there will be goodness.... like potpie!
