JUSTUSNAK...Summer coming to an end!?

I saw the photo the other day, and to be honest I wish I could post a pic of my face at that time. I couldn't get my head around what a diaper cake was.

So now I understand the reason/concept. I am thick sometimes....

Oh, you are not alone there my friend. When my friend was telling me about this "diaper cake" I was envisioning a cake....shaped like a diaper....with a "gooey" filling. Im glad she explained it to me. Im not really a girly girl sorta person...but I do think its pretty! Jeans and a flannel for me.

that's really cute! My mom did a baby shower once and it was right before xmas so she had a little xmas tree that she decorated with baby items as ornaments... Then halfway through the shower she threw a sheet over it and gave everyone a piece of paper and a pencil and they had to list everything that was on the tree. The person that got the most correct items got a prize. It was really cute. We also did jelly beans in a baby bottle and you had to guess how many were in it for a prize. She also did a really fun one one time (can you tell she does a lot of these things?) She cut out squares of solid color fabric and gave everyone fabric markers and fabric paint and let everyone decorate a square and then she put lattice and borders on it and turned it into a quilt for the baby. It was a really cute keepsake.

Lori, those are great baby shower ideas, thanks! My little SIL is expecting her 2nd baby this fall & Ive been asked to help with the shower (they are trying to teach me skills I never learned, like throwing a REAL party - lol). My MIL will be so proud when I present her with YOUR ideas!

My mom and granny handle all the showers and receptions in our very large extended family. I think we probably have given at least 30 or 40 various parties for stuff. Baby showers are always fun...I have even seen where one girl had a shower that included the husbands and they had a beer bottle contest. The men had to race each other to finish a baby bottle full of beer....and yes, they had to suck it through the nipple! At my shower we gave everyone a piece of string and a pair of scissors and they had to predict how big my belly was. Who ever came the closest to the actual circumference of my stomach won a prize. I have also seen one where you pick various candy bars and melt them into diapers and you have to try to decide what kind of candy bar is in there. Makes it look like a dirty diaper....baby ruth is a good one! Very realistic. I've also seen it done with baby food and you have to guess what kind of baby food it is.

Good luck, you'll have to show us pics of what you did!

Wow! You have all kinds of wonderful ideas! Thank you!
It'll be a few months before the shower, but I will definitely post pics for you and let you know which of your ideas I stole!

So a few days ago, it was in the 40's!! YES! I swear! Sunshine...ALMOST could go with just a light jacket. The snow was melting off....heck, I could see GRASS!!!! Yes, there was water and mud everywhere..and I have to admit, I was grumbling a little over that...but thinking to myself...it wont be long now! Spring will be coming soon!! Then....IT happened...AGAIN!! I was all ready to head into town yesterday...had my list, checked it twice...gonna get feed now that the weather was "nice" And....it started snowing..first, just flurries...so I hurridly got my coffee...was getting dressed, and looked out the window. It was snowing harder...we had about an inch! I cant get feed when its snowing...I dont have a cap for the truck! Well JUST FINE THEN! I reserved myself to stay home, and work around the house. Put on a big pot of chili and decided I would go Thursday! No big deal. The snow throughout the day was melting from the roads, and sidewalk...so I figured I could go Thursday. Hmmmm, Mother nature...Old Man Winter..whoever you are out there, GOT OFF IT!!! Woke this morning to about 3 inches of this white crapola. Oh, I have to go get feed....but now I have to shovel out the truck, and when I get home, haul it through this ....stuff. Spring fever?? Its more like SPRING PNEUMONIA!! I WANT SPRING!!
OK, rant over.... untill we get another snow.

You sound like me when I woke up this morning - to 6 new inches of White Death!

We're supposed to get up to another 2 feet of snow by this weekend!
