Baby Shower and Woodsie Time!

Friday night - Erika and Melissa came up/over. Melissa brought her pug, Darwin. It was a bit iffy at first. Madison kept growling at him, but by the time they left on Saturday night, they seemed to get along quite well. Of course, Darwin has been around big dogs, and Melissa was keeping an eye on him, which helps tremendously!

Saturday - Shower time! We got there around 11:40 (started at 12), and there were people there already. Everything went well. Jon got to visit with his Aunt Marsha and cousin Meredith. We haven't seen them in a long time.

We got mostly everything we need. We still have to get a Boppy, monitor, diaper pail and a few other misc things. Luckily we got gift cards too. I made Jon open mostly everything. I hate being the center of attention and he got a kick out of it.

Later, Jon and I went to dinner with Melissa, Erika, Sarah and Colleen. We went to Don Pablo's. Now, any other time, they are mostly empty on Saturday nights. Nope... packed. Our 10 minute wait turned into 30. Took well over an hour to get our dinners. Luckily I wasn't too hungry when we got there. I was starving by the time I got mine. Chips and salsa only last so long. We got back home around 10:30 and Melissa and Erika left for Indy. I was worried about them driving back so late, but it ended up being a good thing. We woke up to 2 inches of snow on Sunday and flurries all day.

Sunday - We went through all the gifts and separated everything. I have two laundry baskets full of clothes/blankets to wash. We put away the clothes from Stacey that I've already washed and organized the room a bit.

I need to get another paper trimmer (Erika accidently stole mine!) tonight so I can get started on thank you notes. I needed to go to Michael's anyway to get more runner tape, so it's all good. Either Melissa or Erika (not sure? Melissa?) painted wooden letters making Connor's name for the shower. I had planned on doing something similar to put on his wall, but now I'll just use these. They are chocolate and teal. Unfortunately, our walls are oak, so they don't show up. I'll have to repaint them white and do what I was going to do with the bigger ones.
