Flour Tower

I really don't know who started it. It all happened so fast. Flour going everywhere. Jacob starts crying, everyone else starts laughing. Then Dylan got some in the eye-he starting crying, the rest of us still laughing.

I have yet to hear the ending of our lesson that included this "flour tower" but I know it had to do with families so I think it served it's purpose by bringing our family closer together through flour.

The missionaries came over for dinner and as Sister Stevenson was preparing the "flour tower", Sister Larsen talked to use about the family proclamation (a statement from our church about the importance and roles of a family). The flour tower is actually a game where a penny is placed on top of a tower of flour. Each one of us took turns cutting out a section of flour trying not to make the penny fall. The person who makes the penny fall has to get the penny off the plate with his/her nose. Jordan was the unlucky one who made the penny fall so he started to get it with his nose but decided to blow the flour out of the way so he could find the penny. Then Richard pushed his face in the flour and that was it-full on flour fight. The flour fight continued even after the family portrait was taken. We had to take Jacob to bed because he would look at our faces and start crying (we must have looked pretty scary). We tried to leave the missionaries out of it, but they eventually got themselves involved and they were covered. They had an appointment right after so they did their best to clean themselves off and help us clean up before they had to go. I am still finding flour in places, but it was a fun night we will not forget. Brendan enjoyed it so much he pulled out his journal, he has never written in since he was eight, and started writing down what happened. Good times.
