Kathleen's Baby Shower, March 7, 2009

My friend Kathleen is someone I imagined would never have kids--mainly because she has a veritable menagerie of animals--dogs, cats, horses, fish, birds, and whatever orphaned baby she comes across on the side of the road. Good thing she works at a vets office! Kathleen is the reason why we have Bonnie Dog and Princess Emily the cat...she is very good at finding adoptive homes for her orphans.

So, we all were thrilled when she found out she was pregnant with a real live human baby. Her and the father are not married and maybe won't ever be, but, we honestly don't care. (Both sets of grandparents are ecstatic!) The fact that she is gonna be a Mom is cool...and I am sure she is gonna be a GREAT Mom!


The baby shower was on Saturday and we spent a couple hours at Kath's parents house with lots of her friends, co-workers and family. The day was beautiful...warm and sunny. Parking was a pain, but, since it was the neighborhood's annual garage sale weekend, we could park out on the berm where there was plenty of space.

What can you say about a shower? Well this one had a great game--you all know how the games usually suck at showers, right? We did the candly bar melted in the diaper game, the guess the baby food jar game and the guess the Mom's waist size...but the TIE BREAKER was the best. Picture six girls with balloons tucked up their shirts. The game was to "break your water" but you couldn't use your hands and you couldn't just fall on the balloon. The girls basically had to impale themselves on whatever was handy...and it was a riot. The winner found the edge of a gas grill to pop the balloon--which had a little bit of water in it!! So she won the game.

Kathleen must have opened gifts for over two hours. It looked like the baby department at Macy's when she was done opening everything. LOL But, it couldn't have happened to a nicer gal.
The funniest thing of the whole day was that when Mom was undressing after the party, she found she had not removed the label from her new shirt!! If you look at the picture full screen, you may see it on her right boob...but we really hope the top was "busy" enough that none of the other guests saw it! LOL
