Girls' Night Out

Last night we (meaning me, Kristen, Miriam, Hannah, and Sojin) decided to have a girls' night out because guys were being lame and turning us down left and right. Pfft their loss. We left at about 8:30 pm and we were going to go to DI and pick out outfits for each other, but when we got there it was closed. So we went to the next best place, Big 5. It's a sporting goods store. We put on crazy sunglasses and hats and hunter's vests and took pictures. One of the girls working thought we were hilarious. After that we went to Dairy Queen and got peanut butter parfaits while rocking out to some fantastical music supplied by the radio.

When we got home we made no-bake cookies. It was my first time making this kind of cookie and it was so much fun. it's a really quick and easy thing to make when you're in a bind and need a treat. I think I might whip this recipe out when my kids tell me they need a bajillion treats for their class...tomorrow. Haha.

We made the cookies so we could doorbell ditch some of our guy friends. We decided on four different apartments to doorbell ditch: Shane, Elder Lewis, Leo, and our FHE brothers.

I'll post the recipe in a follow up blog. For now I just want to talk about the difficulty of doorbell ditching in Rexburg!

So since Shane lives the furthest away we decided to doorbell ditch his apartment first. He lives in Brighton Townhouses which is just behind Shelbourne Apartments. Us being the bright group of girls we are thought of course we'll park at Shelbourne walk around behind it drop the cookies off and then run back.

Really, it sounded perfect.

So Miriam, Hannah, and I get the cookies and we're walking around the side of Shelbourne. The snow is about knew deep, but packed pretty well. We make it around to the back and there's a whole lot of yard between Shane's apartment and Shelbourne. Hannah and I think we should keep going, Miriam has her doubts but follows anyway. We should have listened to Miriam.

The snow is waist deep and for the most part packed pretty tight, but every now and then I'd fall in. I cannot even begin to describe the hilarity that ensued. We were laughing so loud and I kept telling Miriam to just go on without me. It was also ridiculously cold.

We finally make it to the side of the Brighton Townhouses. Good thing Shane lives in the very last one. So Miriam and I walk back behind the townhouses and hide under his kitchen window while Hannah leaves the cookies and rings the doorbell. It's sad because while running back to us Hannah fell. Okay actually it was pretty funny. Then we actually had to get out from behind the apartments and thank goodness Kristen was waiting in the parking lot of Brighton because I was freezing!

The other doorbell ditches were a lot less eventful, but still fun. The next apartment we hit was Elder Lewis's, and then #208, and finally our FHE brothers. It really was quite the night.
