Party Prep is Fun

We had a small baby shower here last night for Shannon & the soon to be baby Julia. K&H got in on the prep work, which was TONS of fun for them but they didn't get to attend. Kyla cried and cried that she wanted nothing more than to go to this "mom party."

Back to the fun prep though. First item of business: taste testing!

Direct quote from Miss K herself, "Taryn says when you have a party you should make a list and then check things off." (I have no idea where she got this from but it does sound like something Taryn would say). Taryn does know how to make good use of things we already have. Like all this pink fabric for example: WHOA PINK FABRIC! There was A LOT! It was the aisle runner from her wedding. I have vivid memories of kneeling down in my dress after the ceremony with Chelsea taking aproximatly 3,000 pins out that attached it to the carpet, hurrying so that we wouldn't miss the reception.

Anyways, the girls "swam" in fabric for about an hour. Even stopping midway to change into a swimsuit and an Ariel costume.

We used just a little bit like this...

And my Modge Podging adventures. I have recently made an E, this J, and one H (that I will be redoing).

Tonight's party: Daddy's pre-birthday bash. We already have a football cake half made. Kyla is working on the decorations as we speak.
