Weekend Wrap-Up

Holy cow, I need a weekend to recover from my weekend! Friday night found us setting up and decorating for C's baby shower. We moved furniture, hung up kites and decided on a table setting. We figured out our game plan for preparing the food on Saturday morning. We finally called it a night around 9ish.

Saturday had us running around and putting the last minute touches on the decorations and food. When C walked into the house and we all saw her surprised face over the theme, it was totally worth it! C looked beautiful in a blue maxi dress and her hair and nails all did. We had a neighbor friend come and take the photos all day so the hostesses could enjoy the party. Let me tell you, it was totally worth it! We had everyone decorate onesies and we also played the much loved and equally hated "Don't Say Baby" game. K put together a tough game where baby items were placed in paper bags and you could only feel the contents to guess what item it was. I sucked at that game, only getting 2 out of 7 correct. We ordered a fantastic chocolate cake with strawberry icing that was decorated like the Dr. Seuss book "Oh Baby the Places You'll Go."

After the party was over, the hostesses headed to a friends lake house for some swimming and relaxing. It was so nice to float in the pool and let my feet rest. They were killing me from standing all day. The boys enjoyed their "Manshower" and were enjoying the effects of Jack Daniels by the time we arrived. Most of us called it a night around 8ish.

Sunday was spent recovering, not only from the weekend activities, but from the wheat I ate. Dumb move on my part. But the roast beef sandwiches were amazing and the cake tasted so good!!!!
