Augusta Baby Shower

My great friends in Augusta threw me a very unique shower last weekend.  The theme was 'Welcome Pumpkin" and completely awesome!  (mabye they chose it b/c it was Fall, maybe b/c they noticed I call all their kids pumpkins... not sure - but it was great!)  Complete with pumpkin 'banners'...

Painted pumpkins welcoming 'lil pumpkin and Baby M...

and a table full of fall festivus and pumpkin food (pumpkin bread (my fave!), pumpkin cupcakes, pumpkin truffles... YUM!)

In addition to the pumpkin theme, it was a diaper shower (which was the very unique part) and set up to help Eric and I get started on the big investment that is cloth diapering.  Although cloth diaper stands to save us a bunch of money (and lots of trees and landfill space) it also has a fairly large initial investment.  Meghan is now consulting for a cloth diapering company (somewhat local since there are none in the area) and gave us a presentation on how all the different new kinds work and different options.

Oh ... did you happen to see that little monkey peeping out the corner of the picture?!?  That little monkey was the coolest thing ever - riding on his DIAPER MOTORCYCLE!!  AMAZING!  I have made a diaper cake for I think every Augusta baby shower we have thrown - and since we were doing a cloth diaper shower I wasn't expecting this at all - and its WAAAY cooler than my diapers cakes.  Jenny rocks!  (wanna see him in all his glory?)

Complete with a bottle headlight, bib fenders, receiving blanket frame, and mitten handlebars... this thing is sooo cool!

It was a great time with good friends...
