The shower

The shower this weekend was loads of fun. The theme: Sugar and Spice Manhattan style was organized by my girlfriend A... Virgin cosmos, little brown bags as favors in honor of bloomie's shopping bags, loads of good food and really originial games.

K joined in on the shower... She loved decorating the onesies that were out for painting. They are rather cute, but two days later they are still wet due to the heavy painting. She also took photos of everyone and was thrilled to win first prize for the best onesie... The other highlight was Gma S's super present - a big sister shirt. She wore it for 24 hours. We got it off at bathtime last night, but she showed it to everyone. Her other favorite a chocolate egg from A to help her feel more comfy with the presents filled with Joseph Schmidt truffles - I already have to admit to stealing one.

Since most of the gifts were geared towards adults K won a scoop of vanilla ice cream at the local ice cream shop which she redeemed Saturday night. As I was freezing we went into the local coffee shop to sit. Apparently they have music on Saturday nights and so there was a band was setting up. K requested they sing Mary had a little lamb as she is only used to the artists at the farmers market. Unfortunately and not suprisingly they didn't play it for her, but we left before they had started to play. It was still really cute to see her ask.

An awesome shower, but what has been even more wonderful is having A back in the area. We have been lucky to be able to see each other almost everyday which is fantastic despite crazy schedules. It is great.

On Sunday we did our standard market coffee shop run before heading back home to continue the organizing of the house before the baby arrives. I think we will be at Goodwill daily for the next three weeks. K is getting so that she can walk all the way into town with only tiny breaks on the stroller. I think it is about 2 miles so we are rather impressed. Despite garage cleaning K and I also went for a walk last night where we made daisy necklaces... Lots of fun epecially with this great weather. And one of the nicest parts of the weekend... date night with my fantastic husband.
