Baby Showers

I have had one baby shower that my ex-boyfriend, Shane, and his sister Carrie threw for me. We have kept a great relationship as friends and as soon as he heard the news of my soon to be mommy status, he pulled together a planning committee to throw an outlandish, completely inappropriate baby shower that I wouldn’t invite my own mother to. And didn’t. I actually went as far as letting Ej know that he would be uncomfortable there too. Not only was it my old boyfriend , it was also the type of party he always rolls his eyes at. You know, the one where we talk Kathleen into whacking a baby piñata and drinking a shot of Patron….

I did, however, email the both of them and explain that the baby shower put on by my sister is the one they would be invited to attend since they would feel unwelcome or at least extremely uncomfortable at Shane and Carrie’s.

That being said, here are some absolutely insane photos of what my friends had in store for me:



more to come with the other photographer..



There were casualties everywhere! There were three trikes for relay trike races. Two of them broke. The egg-tossing contest with eerie baby faces glued to each egg splattered around the field. The battered and mangled baby piñata with candy and whistles.. And just as we finished up, the cops drove by the elementary school and everyone darted back to the house. Each prize was a bottle of alcohol they broke open and distributed shots from. By the end of the night, everyone was obnoxiously drunk, but it was soo much fun for my friends, and me I forgave their behavior.

I know Kathleen couldn’t make the more appropriate one. She assured me that this one was a good time. And I really did have to warn her of how crazy it would be. I don’t know if any of my friends that start having children will be able to do anything but a deranged coed party.
