Bubble Shower
Tuesday, May 1st, 2007
Robyn graciously hosted our bubble shower last weekend! So while a deluge of much-needed rain pounded down outside, we all stayed warm + dry inside, gutsing ourselves on LU Petit Écolier biscuits, Reya-made white chocolate cupcakes + mimosas.
I wanted to have everyone play Werewolf, but this was deemed inappropriate, so we took my mom’s suggestion of Sniff the Nappy (popular candy bars are microwaved in numbered diapers, then passed around for people to guess the contents). That was good for loosening people up, obviously we’re crazy. Then followed several rounds of cotton ball scooping – the aim is to get as many cotton balls from one bowl to another in one minute, using a wooden spoon while blindfolded. There is a secret technique used by the masters, not to be revealed here. . . this had everyone shouting + laughing. Intense competition!
Then there was much yelling for presents, + so we delved into the pile of goodies that had accumulated. We are going to have one snazzy dressed bubble! Tabasco stripe adventures await us. . . that’s our buddy Marie sitting beside us, + yes, there is a microwave on the table. Bring on the Goblin King, we have a score of cloth nappies!
After prezzies we adjourned downstairs for lil’pizzas + cucumber sandwiches, coffee + tea. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, + it was really quite wonderful to have so many people around, all so excited for our little guy. Thank you to everyone who has sent us hugs, we wish you all could have been there – Aurelia keeps lamenting that so many of her girlfriends are flung to the far corners of the earth. . . although, that just means we’ll have a well-traveled bubs
