blogged down with baby gear

matty's sister had her baby shower yesterday, and what a shower it was. literally, it did rain a few drops.

you know baby showers. they're all food, games, and present unwrapping. as far as food goes,

check out this fruit dish:

and well, we didn't win any games but theonly male (matty) and i did give it good effort, joining forces on collecting 24 clothes pins for catching others saying the dreadded B-word (if you don't know the word, reread as i've already used it 3 times). 24 wasn't enough to out-do the little girl who attended and everyone happily gave over their clothing pins to. shucks.

of course, the coolest part was watching all the cute, adorable, cuddly, soft, & precious - clothes, blankies, toys, diaper cakes, whale-shaped baths, etc. that mama renee

got. i mean, so much stuff she'll have to have a yard sale, just to make room. matt and

i one-up-ed everyone with our creativity, making her a bike-gear mobile, some cute monster wall decorations, and 2 very originally designed onesies. (back of 1st onesie = walrus matt.)

last but oh so not least, the hosts just so happened to have 5 pretty darn cool pets. you'll never guess, but this picture will help. i learned that red eyes = boy.
