Books & Bottoms

Before the point of the post... here's a pic of our finished guest bedroom.  A couple of months ago, Zach and I got some bed risers so that we could store more things under there, but then you could see under the bed so easily when you walked in the room.  My mom made this very cute dust ruffle and we used the easy method of Velcro to attach it.  I'm glad to have my storage area hidden.

And now for books and bottoms.... 

Last night, the non-prego girls in our small group hosted a "showering" for the prego girls.  It was a great way to honor these girls and their special little bundles that will arrive all within a month of each other.  Below: Holly and baby Maddy due on April 4th, Sarah and baby Camryn due on February 28th and Jamie with Baby Girl ?? due on March 7th.  Craziness... in just a few short months all of their lives will change and our small group will expand with three new little girls!

Here we are all the girls... Angela, Jessica, Holly, Sarah, Jamie, me and Shevawn.  It was such a pleasure to host the shower with Jessica and Shevawn and so easy to plan. 

Here is all the loot that the girls ending up taking home with them.  We decided to get them books to start their little girl's libraries as well as diapers and wipes to get them started when the little ones come. 

We also had a little laundry line of onesies as well as surgical masks care of sister Kim.  Hopefully these surgical masks will come in handy for changing those stinky diapers.

The cupcakes that Jessica made... C, M & ? (wish the Libby's would have told us their baby's name).  They were yummy nummy and I sure had my share of them.

One of the games played... We called it... "What is it?"  Three jars of baby food with no labels.  The three couples were given the option of smelling or tasting.  Drew tasted all of them with no hesitation, though I think that he was sorry after the fact.  The flavors... Turkey & gravy, Green beans with Rice, and Organic Bananas.  By far the bananas looked the best, but I sure wouldn't bother to taste them.

Opening presents... 

The boys paired up to play "The Price is Right."  They had to guess the price of three baby items without going over the actual price.  Aaron ending up with the Boudreax Butt Paste.

Tyson won the Sippy cup... 

Drew won the Nasal Aspirator or as Jessica and I call it the Booger Sucker.  Hopefully it will be useful to the Libby's.  

It was a great night and we were so happy to honor these special girls.  Not too much longer until we get to meet the new additions.

Update:  The office is coming along very nicely.  We won't be able to finish by the time Zach's starts school (that's tomorrow, Jan 20th), but we should be able to finish by this weekend.  More pics to come once the room is done!
