whimsical wednesday!

this thanksgiving eve is whimsical wednesday. with part of the family already gathered, the bunch that could be  known as the m&ms family because of their enjoyment of m&ms, whimsical wednesday was planned to be both fun and festive.

everyone received a small container of peanut m&ms.  each person then sorted their m&ms by color.  next the m&ms were eaten in the order of least to most favorite colors!  as everyone munched, i recorded the order in which they enjoy their m&ms.  (i do not eat candy due to the sugar content.)  the results, listed least to most favorite color:

sarah:     brown, green, red, blue, orange, yellow
megan:   brown, orange, yellow, red, green, blue
jacob:    brown, orange, red, yellow, green, blue
scott:     brown, orange, green, red, yellow, blue

it was fascinating, although not surprising, that everyone ate the brown m&ms first because it was everyone's least favorite color.  (remember the tan m&ms? those used to be the least favorite because they just were not at all pretty!)

after talking about everyone's color choices, scott suggested that a sentence be written using the first letter of each m&m color to reflect everyone's color preferences.  that was a great idea so that was done as well.  (articles were "free" if anyone wanted to construct a sentence with these)  the results:

sarah:      Bring granny rain boots over yonder!

megan:    Bring old yeller, Ruby G, bring!

jacob:     Boring old rain yells at my grisly bear!

scott:      Breakfast is ongoing gustatory revelations, yoga is a blessing!

this was a fun addition to just eating the m&ms in color order because, as the sentences were read aloud, everyone laughed and laughed!

another whimsical wednesday enjoyed! and soon it will be thanksgiving!
