An Observant Mind: events and such!

so i've missed blogging the past few days. after a solid month of posting for the "picture challenge" and planning/hosting a baby shower over the weekend, i've found myself foregoing my blogging to create time for other things. but, i must share pictures from the baby shower that i helped host this past saturday.

my friend jill is about 7 months pregnant and adorable as they come. she asked for a few of us to host her baby shower for her close friends. we were happy to oblige and found ourselves getting very creative and going a bit overboard with the whole thing.

amidst many to-do lists and shopping trips, i managed to limit my number of "freak-outs" as the date drew nearer. if it weren't for andrea and gary, i don't think any amount of medication would have calmed me down!

we decided upon a candy theme for the shower and went crazy from there. the shower would be decorated with bright, bold colors. games would be few, and drinks would be aplenty.

when the day of the shower came, everything was pretty much in place. it was a huge (and cute) success! here are some pictures from the shower! (click on picture for larger view.)
