Baby Shower Insanity

I had forgotten how much planning, time, and money goes into a baby shower. Last Saturday we gave the Pixie a shower for the babies and it was worth every minute of my time. There were mountains of gifts and gift certificates, enough to outfit an army of gremlins. There is no way I could remember it all without looking at the list so won't even try except to say she was overwhelmed and cried buckets of tears. But let's get to the best part where a bunch of grown women fall back into childhood playing silly games that will make ya run for the nearest bathroom!!!

To begin with, we had to place a paper plate on top of our heads, (groan! I know) and with crayons draw a baby. Then the Pixie got to judge the winner. She didn't know who drew what and with that said, I WON!!! She said she liked mine cuz it looked Charlie Brown (ya, from outer space lol). Next, a diaper was passed around filled with mini tootsie rolls, ya ya ya it looked poopie........ and we had to guess how many were in there. Actually had a 3 way tie on that one. It got really gross after that with 10 preemie diapers being passed around filled with assortment of foods in each one that looked like the real thing. You had to smell, taste, or just guess. You shoulda heard the "oh yuck"s going around. Being totally grossed out, we broke for real food, none of that baby crappiola, and knowing I had plenty was shocked to discover everyone had a hefty appetite after that last game. At that point, a couple of the ladies left and man did they get lucky, cuz they didn't have to participate in the last game.

Now we all know that grown women are smart, and don't fall for foolishness most of the time but I haven't yet figured out what happened to our brains. Maybe the overdose from the poopie diapers turned our brains to mush. Last game was a doozy!!!! There is no way in hell I would post a picture of Pixie or myself in this horrible compromising position on any website. A HUGE glob of vaseline was placed on our nose and we had to bob for cotton balls in a big ole bowl, and BLOW it off our noses. We could not use our hands.......and at this point I will let you all use your imagination. Needless to say there was a run on the bathrooms for tinkle time, lmao!!! Lesson from the shower we learned is: Run for the hills at your next baby shower.....
