Baby Shower!

Dara's baby shower was today, everything went well. She recieved lots of great gifts, cash and gift cards. More pictures in my photos.
Friday I just wanted to come home and clean up the back and front porch. But I had to deal with comcast about our phone not working then, run Dylan around. I did get the back porch cleaned, but didn't get to set down until after 9 pm.
Saturday Bob and I had some pools to do. It rain almost the hole time we were working. Then we had to go shopping for the baby shower and get all the stuff that I needed to make. I made two for the dishes that night, the ones that had to chill. Didn't set down until after 10 pm.
Sunday made the hot food for the shower and picked up a few things I forgot Saturday and the fruit and veggie trays. Bob put the signs up so everyone new where to turn and balloons out in front of the building. We all pitched in and did the decorations and setting up the food.
Had lots of people tell me that I did a good job. :)
When we started planning... Brandon's Mom came over and said I won't have to do much, that she wanted to do almost everything. The way it ended up is "she" bought the cake, ice cream, cups, plates, spoons, forks, napkins and she got the ink for her computer that the kids made the invites with. I did everything else, all the food (except for the cookies-my MIL made them), stamps for the invites, gifts for the games (which there were a few let over and I didn't get home with them, wonder where they went?), paying for the place to have it and stamps for thanks you cards. I hope that the kids will make their own thank you cards. Total cost...$332.24

Thanks to everyone that stops by and for all the great comments. :)
