Some house shenanigans

On Saturday my house had a big meal together.
There was no special occasion or purpose it was just for fun.
And it was fun.
Each dorm had a different job: cooking, decorating, making a song etc.
My dorm was lucky enough to be in charge of setting up. This meant that we had the privilege of carrying five couches out of the day room, nine tables into the day room (one of which was a large wooden one from our house parents' house), and about 48 chairs. But it was worth it.
The dorm in charge of decorating did a great job, hanging up vines and putting out candles
With the help of the house parents' children of course

Two dorms cooked, so the kitchens (both the day room and houseparents' kitchen) were packed and the house smelled wonderful. We ate soup and bread and fried rice and salad.

Each table had some floating candles

One of the dorms made a quiz. The questions ranged from difficult (who was Illtude? [there is a restaurant in Llantwit named Illtude's]) to strange (what stall in the boys bathroom is most popular?) to nonsensical (what is the harmonic between Killian singing in his dorm, Becky singing upstairs and Raku singing in the bathroom?).

Another dorm made a prize for the winning table: chocolates and a gift certificate for foot messages by Ola (based on him facial expression following this announcement I have an inkling that he was not aware of this)
Alexis presented this wonderful prize.

Our house parents son: (I have no idea how to spell his name... but it is pronounced like alan)

My dormie (Kete) kept him entertained

Across the school there is currently a competition to see which house can collect the most coppers (1 and 2 pence coins). In an endeavor to collect more in my house, we auctioned off drawings made by people in our house. It got pretty competitive.

Killian and his dorm wrote a song about the house which was hilarious.

Helen, my dormie, and I started playing with candy wrappers.

There were also some heart decorations on the table

And to finish it off, one of the dorms made a skit. It was so funny.

It was a wonderful Saturday.
