The baby shower today was woodland-themed, so it was supposed to be outside in our unkempt backyard, but despite my most frantic monitoring of the weather app, the forecast continued to call for rain, so I had to move the party indoors.
Ah well. At least I didn't have to clean (our indoors tends to be fairly tidy), or set up outdoor tables, and could possibly get away with fewer decorations since the space was smaller (I guess I am a bit Pollyanna-ish sometimes).
It went well. I'm so honored that I get to be part of the Ls's chosen family and do this for them and I just can't wait to meet their little bean!
While we were playing "Mommy or Daddy?" (the game where you guess which parent would change more diapers, take more photos etc. ) Big A and I did a quick retrospective check on our own days as young parents. We agreed on everything. (We're so weird.) We saved a few of the game forms for the next family dinner night to see if the kids can guess right.

Lol "despite my most frantic monitoring of the weather app, the forecast continued to call for rain" - refresh, refresh, refresh - dammit, still rain!
How lovely to have a baby shower! I love those.
Cute
Ha, that fruit salad is AMAZING! It looks like you threw a very lovely baby shower. And- did it actually end up raining? I hope so! But it sounds like the decision to move it indoors worked so well, it doesn't matter.
The weather continues to be bothersome here as well (although we did need all of this rain desperately). Your baby shower looks beautiful and welcoming. Theo's was also a woodland theme.
I like that idea for a game. And for a family dinner table discussion. I bet it could be a template for other fun questions to spark conversations, too.
Despite the weather's failure to cooperate, this looks so lovely! The watermelon pram is adorable.
That's quite a spread. Love the watermelon stroller.
Baby clothes are probably the cutest things in the world. OMG.
:)
Thanks, Jenny!
It DID NOT RAIN! But it was soggy and sodden from before, so indoors was probably best.
Sweet Theo!
Thank you, Nance. I'll report back on whom the kids picked as "the fun parent." Haha.
Thanks, Suzanne!
Thanks, Steph. I had lots of help :).
