I am helping with the planning of a former co-worker's baby shower and it is stressing me out a bit as I am in charge of all the games. I am good at entertaining people as I think I am a people person but the difference here is that there will be a language barrier and about 50-60 people there. I have the usual games planned such as the clothes pin game, the diaper changing contest, we have word finds and stuff like that. I am not sure that we will even have room for all these games but I guess I will have to see what happens. It's May tenth so if anyone who reads this has any ideas I will gladly take them.
This is a really long blog and not even about my day today. Haha I feel that I had a productive day however didn't get much done. I have been lazy about stuff lately. Well tomorrow is Wednesday so we are all half way through the week! Hope all of you have a great day tomorrow and a great weekend if I don't write anything else until then.
Super Blogger Lori...I am glad to see your new blog up and running and I think about you when I haven't updated this even though I haven't been called out on it yet. =)

Hey there...my name is Annie...I am a super old friend of Travis's. I checked out your blog and I just had to write you on this one, I hope you don't mind. I had a baby about a year ago and I have some experience with the whole baby shower throwing thing (It is a big pain...just my opinion).
So here is some of my advice. I am not a big fan of games, although they can be fun. One thing that is pretty cool is to have the guests write out on a piece of prepared paper one tip or parenting advice. These can be given to the mom to be and she can read them later, or some of them can be read during the shower (it might be a good way to take up some time if you are lost for things to do). At my shower people had to guess who said what...but I don't know if this would work for you, it doesn't sound like it. Also the baby food game can be kind of fun. You pass along some baby food containers (although I don't recommend you taste them...icky, maybe just smell them) and you have people guess what they are. This is a rather large group of people though so I don't know how that would work...it is possible though. Good luck with everything, I know it can be stressful...especially with that many people. You will get through it though. I hope this helps:) So, it is nice to meet you and you can check out my bloggy blog if you want to so you know where this advice is coming from (annieaidenmarc.blogspot.com)
