  so after staying up super late last night, and waking up early, running to 3 different stores this morning for decorations and papergoods, unknotting the balloons, and everything, the baby shower for casey and julie went off without a hitch. we bought them: -Where the Wild Things Are -a few urlLink Mr. Men (the tiny books with people like Mr. Messy) -some Dr.Brown bottles that are supposed to be AMAZING for preventing gas with babies (according to some girls at work. ) -an urlLink Uglydoll named Tray, Ryan picked him out because i couldn't decide. good choice! -i crocheted a blanket in pink, white and purple that turned out pretty snuggly. -i knitted a purple and white little baby sweater too i think everything was a hit. looks like they scored some good loot. this is going to be one welldressed baby! so many cute things! and lots of cool baby stuff...crib CD player, baby bouncer, some crazy high tech gate, everything! pretty crazy how different things are now, then they were even when i was babysitting a couple years ago! the baby was dancing all over the place afterwards. she seemed pretty happy. julies belly was a party!
we dined on fried chicken, and mom made a TON of desserts. yummers. pretty cool all around. very chill. not to hoity-toity. just the way i like it. got to talk to my cousin jenny a while which was nice. she's taken up the art of crochet! i'm so proud! well. i guess i'll go play harvest moon. yeah.
