Remember the post about how I was crafty and decided to make letters that spell “indulge” and put them in my kitchen? They look like this: 
A few Friday nights ago I had a girls sleep-over at my house with Krista, Brittany, Cassidy, and Liz. One of the times I went to the bathroom Brittany had the idea of switching around the letters to make them say “Nude.” As I was in the bathroom all the girls are up on my counter scrambling the letters around and trying to make as little noise as possible. As soon as I walked out of the bathroom I immediately noticed the change and we had a good laugh. 
Fast forward a few weeks to a Sunday night. Our church was having a new members class which was supposed to meet at a nearby coffee shop, however, the owners forgot to show up and unlock the doors so they ended up having the meeting at our house. There were about 20 people here and most of them I had never met before. They had never been to our home so I was trying my hardest to be the best little hostess they had ever seen. At one point during the meeting Brittany catches my eye and points to my kitchen. I look over and suddenly realize that I had forgotten to switch the letters back! There they were in plain view for everyone to see: NUDE. My face got so red and I could have died. Now these people’s first impression of us must be that we are freaks who love to prance around naked.
Later on in the evening I ended up being able to explain to them what the deal was and they all started cracking up and looked extremely relieved. They were all like, “Oh good, we kept looking at them and thinking what is up with these people?” They were very glad to know that their worship leader and his wife were not some sex freaks or something.
The moral of this story is never let a sister with a creative imagination run around unsupervised in your home.

You should have said don’t leave your friends alone in your home, while you use the restroom. Poor Erica-I would think twice before I invited them over again

I bet you were so red with embarrasment. After hearing about the games you all played duing the sleepover, the word went with the theme of the night. I see the word “DinE” in there also.
