Lunch Punch Rules

  • If someone gets up from the table you can leagally punch their lunch (it's exactly what it sounds like it is)
  • You can safely leave the table if every entre/side dish is properly covered. For example lets say you place your fork so that it is resting on your salad and your pork chop, but "oh no!" you leave the table and nothing is laying on top of your mashed potatoes!!! According to lunch punch rules your buddy can leagally punch your taters as many times as he sees fit.
  • It is acceptable to cover your whole plate with one item such as a napkin. This will keep your lunch unpunched.
  • Only those aware of the rules can be lunch punched
  • Drinks are exempt from punching.

Our house has addopted a couple extra rules you may want to concider such as...

  • No punching a meal that costs over ten dollars
  • Never punch your grandma's lunch, unless of course she punches yours first, in that case your grandma's pot roast better watch it.

(To all of Emily's co-workers at Cornerstone: I would just like to say that you owe me for not teaching the kids this messy game and then running away and letting you all deal with it forever. The thought certainly crossed my mind)

Beaches + Disney + Hanging out at the senior citizen trailer park = Easton family vacation

We went to Florida and spent some quality time with Em's fam. a
t her grandparent's "playhouse." Thank you mom and dad for this generous gift and the time that we got to spend with each other. Our trip to NASA was cool because we saw the shuttle ready to blast off on the launch pad, which we subsequently watched NOT blast off three times and then finally went while we were boarding the plane to come home. Awesome. The space shuttle is now dead to me.
Quick side note: I'd like to share with you all a Ritzman Family Vacation tradition. It's a little thing we like call breakfast dessert. Let me explain - you eat dessert after breakfast and it's epic. For all you Seinfeld fans out there just think of Jerry's parents house... That place is real - we spent a week there. We even found a pen that writes upside down at NASA.




Beware: The teacups may look innocent with their pastel colors and fairytale facade....






but their inner fury will attack when you least expect it...
