This Little Piggy's Going To Market!

Remember when I said Cat Daddy was through loading the trailer for The Carolyn Westbrook Home Summer Market?(Wow, what a mouthful!) Well guess what? I lied. It seems he was through loading the pieces I wanted to take, but still had to add what He wanted to take!You might as well sit a spell as this might take a while to explain. Cat Daddy and I are good junking partners to a point. The point is we don't always agree on what to buy or how much to pay. (Something y'all might want to consider when trying to get your husbands involved in your addiction!) He tends to go to the dark side occasionally which in the case of this set of eight chairs is fine by me. I love the french lines and can see them in a creamy white or "as is" with burlap seats, but I digress. He also loves and I do mean loves victorian...sometimes he is such a "girl"! We'll just have to see how this all plays out Saturday...where there is a will...yada, yada, yada!

He also has a "thing" for heavy stuff. If you don't believe me just take a look at his lovely bride! Now I am not going to lay all the humongous purchases at his feet. I have been guilty of buying things that should be boat anchors as well. We are a sad, sad pair and will probably be bent and broken over by the time we are 60! But good gosh arover...will you take a look at these gates! They are killer both in looks and in weight! Y'all really should plan on coming Saturday, if for no other reason, just to see Frick and Frack try and maneuver this stuff.

While I am rambling I thought I would give you a little update on the baby showers. I should tell you I really dislike shower party games. I do not want to be blindfolded (although I won't say never! wink, wink!) and asked to stick my nose or finger into a baby food jar and guess what it is! That is just eewww! Nor do I see any reason whatsoever to embarrass the mother-to-be by guessing her girth with toilet paper...that's just cruel!

So I thought I would be so clever and go online and see if I could find something for y'all to play with me and something for Jenn's guests to play with her that wouldn't be totally offensive to me. Oh mylanta! Offensive? The aforementioned games are kid stuff compared to what I found. I'll just list them for you and let y'all choose one or two, what do you say?

1. Baby Bottle Chugging...This one has blackmail photos written all over it!
2. My Water Broke....Freeze a tiny baby doll in an ice cube, place in a cup and hand out to guests. Right now in Texas, that would be all of 5 minutes and it would be a race to the hospital!
3. Dirty Diaper Test...melt chocolate candy in microwave and place-Oh you know the rest! Gross!!!
4. And last but not least, my personal favorite...Bobbing For Nipples! Oh yeah, you read right! People, I cannot (and will not) make this stuff up. This one ought to be a big hit with all the dads in attendance!

So ladies, any of these sound like something you would be up for? Actually, I have picked out a game for y'all. I thought it would be fun to play the Gift of Advice. We all have that inner need to share our wordly knowledge with new mothers. So I am giving you that opportunity. Be thinking of the one thing you wish someone had told you that you can share with the Bella Momma at the shower!

Well, times a wastin' so I better get back to my rat killing before C.D. gets home and wants help rearranging the trailer. That's something else he is real good at...loading and unloading two or three times just for gits and shiggles! (Can I say that?)

Again, I look forward to seeing any and all of you this Saturday the 18th in glorious Chatfield. And for those of you unable to attend...you have my sincerest "you snooze, you lose!".
