Can't Beat Jelly & Ice Cream

Ben, Jill, Andy and Cathy came over last night for Rob's birthday. We had finger food, jelly and ice cream (Ben couldn't get on board with the idea of J&I together in one bowl so just had ice cream), and a Spider-Man birthday cake - which we actually didn't cut into in the end because we had loads of other desserts, so Rob's going to take it to the office tomorrow.

In between all the food we played some games, including a very competitive round of 'move the chick peas from one bowl to another using only a straw' - not sure if it has a shorter name than that ;). Here are Rob and Jill in their first-round heat:


And here's the eventual winner:


The ongoing girls/boys battle ended as a draw on the night - 2 games won by the girls, and 2 by the boys - but the boys are still ahead overall at 3-2. Not for long though - the girls will storm ahead next time ;).

I think that's officially called the Pea Sucking Championships - or in this case the Chick Pea.

I forgot to tell you before, but you didn't make it difficult enough.
You're supposed to transfer the peas into a tall glass, so that you actually have to lift them up, as well as moving them sideways!!
