Circus-o-Pencaps

Last Sunday between the 9:00 service and the 11:15, Jaime and I had the task of taking off pen caps from 500 pens. We did this becasue if we put pens in the baskets with the bullitins and they have pen caps on, they will end up all chewed and all over the floor of the tent. So, as we were taking off all the pen caps we started thinking of all the different things that we could do with them. We decided that it would be super fun if we linked all of the pen caps together and see how tall we could get it. 128 pen caps later...

It kept breaking somewhere in the middle because the top would get so heavy and it would start bending... but we finally secured enough of the caps so that i wouldn't break and we got it to stand up strait!.... for about 5 seconds. But, we did it!


Then... becasue making the pen tower was so fun, we decided to see what esle we could do with the pen caps, so we made giant blue mustache's with them! Because.. what esle would we do with them? Seriously.
I think that is probably the BEST idea that Jaime and I have ever had inbetween services. I wonder what we will think of next week... any ideas for bordom busters??
