A few weeks ago we had our baby shower, which Laura's sister and mom graciously hosted. There were plenty of fun games, food, and an awesome cake (pictures below).
Game one was guess our (Laura and Gary's) collective circumference with a length of yarn and we were quite shocked to see some of the huge guesses. I think a few came in under, but the majority leaned towards the larger size, including at least one that was twice the size of us. I believe the winner was my sister, Lisa, who claims to be really good at baby shower games, so look out if you see her at one.
***No pictures of this game, but how about a joke?
**ahem** So this string walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Hey, we don't serve strings in here!" And he grabs the string and throws him out on the sidewalk. So the poor little string, quite thirsty, asks an innocent bystander to tied him into a knot and mess up his ends a little bit. The string then proceeds to walk back into the bar and the bartender sees him and says, "Hey, aren't you the same string that I just threw out of here?" And the string replies, "No, I'm a frayed knot. Now give me a beer!"
Okay that was dumb, but how many string jokes do you have???
Okay, back to the shower...
The next game (these might actually be out of order, but whatever) was a baby food feeding game. Partnering up, one person was blindfolded and had to feed the other. Surprisingly, no one really got that messy.
The contestants...
(Note Allison just to the left of me)
And the winners (and again, my sister managed to win with a little help from Val)...
Aha!! That's how they did it! They spilled it all!
The final game (which was likely the second, but again, whatever) was to create a playdough baby. The catch, though, was that you were partnered up and had to hold hands while doing it. Thus each person had only one hand to use. However, this did not seem to be a huge obstacle as everyone managed to do a great job. Even our niece got into it. She was quite reluctant to stop holding hands even after the game ended.
Several opted to make their baby a boy and decided he should be well endowed - especially the ladies...what's up with that?
Okay, so I just remembered another activity. Every had a chance to guess the Bugamoo birth stats. I think Laura is charting the responses and we'll post those later. Overall, I think it was about 70-30 in favor of a boy with the weight ranging from 3lbs (Allison) to about 8.7lbs (Danielle). Danielle was also the only one to guess April Fool's Day, not sure if that was a joke or not.
Thank you to all of our friends and family for coming to celebrate out little Bugamoo. And thank you all for the wonderful and generous gifts. (FYI - The puppy below the table was not a gift.)
And the cake, which was both visually excellent and quite tasty...
