• Baby shower day!

  
  

  We actually had a great time. We played several fun — well ok, they’re shower games, but some of them were really funny. For instance we played the game where everyone gets a clothespin when they come in. Every time some one crosses their legs or feet you can take their clothespin and vice versa. The person at the end of the shower with the most pins wins. What is funny is to see how seriously grown women take these things. They get militant about that stuff. Of course I had the most <blows on nails and buffs them on chest>, but as I was one of the hostesses, I gave the prize to the next person. Boy I tell you, women were out to get to me and my clothespins. They were serious about it!

  
  

  The other game was a little toy baby frozen in a bowl of ice. Everybody guessed the time the baby would “crown”. That was fun too, as everyone had different methods of determining the time and then checked on the baby and had to comment fairly regularly. It was amusing.

  
  

  And to emphasize the shopping situation, the mom to be, got two of one thing and three of another – these were the “big” gifts. Very amusing. I traveled all over the island in my little baby shower “scavenger hunt” yesterday, and I lucked out! At the last stop (a grocery store!) I found two of the items on her list and snapped them up. She was glad to get all of them.

  
  

  We all hope she makes it to her C-Section date, which is the 29th of November. According to her dates, she’s due the 26th. According to the Doctors here she’s due the 15th of December. On top of that, this is her third child. I hope she makes it. You may ask how we believe her instead of the doctor?? — Easy, she’s military, with 2 children and her husband is always TDY. She pretty much knows the exact date of conception.

  
  

  The family had a great day with their final SCUBA certification dives. They saw turtles, frog fish, eels, octopus, and a bizillion other forms of sea life. Hubby let scarlet cleaner shrimp clean his teeth. <eeewwwww> Needless to say there will be no kissing for awhile. Unfortunately, the camera battery died and there is no picture, otherwise I would definitely post pictures of that! Although I am already having a hard time getting the image out of my mind……….. and I wasn’t even there to see it! <shudders violently>.

  
  

  Well it was a very good day in all. I have some homework to do tonight and we are going to watch a movie. Of course since I got up at 5:30 and worked pretty much all day, I may not make it very long. Tomorrow we have the Family Fun Day at church. Both Silver_Fangz and I are working so we will be there all day. It looks like it will be a long week end…………

  
  

  I know the color scheme is kinda of…………… yucky, but it’s in honor of the baby shower!!
