I can't believe I forgot to post about the baby shower!
1/23/10 was a great day! Mom and a a bunch of helpers (Kristy, Colleen, Brian's mom, Liz, Dad, Joe, etc) transformed the garage into a pink Reduce, Reuse, Recycle theme party zone! It was awesome! There were balloons and the tables had decorations of flannel tablecloths (to be reused into flannel wipes and cloth diaper liners), plates and silverware, and the awesome gifties (a recycle magnet, chocolate Lilah bar, bookmark for taking a book from the shelf of reused books, and/or a picture frame).
We played games:
-Nursery Rhyme pictionary: (so fun, mom drew clues and people had to guess, if they got it right they got a card, if they said or sang it they got another card-cards were from the movie knocked up and used as 'points' to keep score)
-measure my belly: Diana from mom's work got the EXACT measurement and Rebecca from my work had the tiniest piece left, I'm pretty sure Ginny had me go around 2 and a half times LOLOL!
-diaper pin poo game: everyone got a diaper corsage when they came in and when we were ready to play the game they had to check their 'diaper' and see if there was a poo (2 raisins) in there!
-guess the M&M's in the jars: 2 different jars of M&Ms with a big chart on the wall of numbers 2 were correct (one for each jar) and you could only put your name in one space
-under the chair giftie: if you had a ribbon under your chair you got a prize
-present timer: while unwrapping presents we set the timer randomly and whoever's present I was opening at the time the timer went off, they got a prize
It was a really great time! Prizes were all recycled theme (reusable shopping basket totes, Reusable water bottle, eco-friendly light bulbs, plastic bag saver tube, etc), wrapping paper used for some gifts was recycled or newspaper, mom passed around cloth diapers to show people what they are like NOW, and food was great!
Thanks everybody what a PERFECT and WONDERFUL time it was!
