Ky and I were invited to a baby shower this afternoon in Denver. It was quite an honour, as I barely knew the couple, and Ky had only done a few walks with the mum to be. Nevertheless, she must have left an impression.
After having my baby shower debut last week, so I kinda knew what to expect. There was the food (southern style again, it really is Pork and Mac&Cheese time!), and the casual loitering, but I never would have expected an invitation to paint a wooden toy set!
The future grandmother has sawed these puzzle pieces out, and encouraged all the guests to paint them as we saw fit. We picked the dinosaur – who wouldn’t? – and got stuck right in.
It reminded me a lot of art class, where you had a task at hand, which was consuming but not to the point where you couldn’t spin a yarn with those around you.
Despite the heat, it was a thoroughly enjoyable day out!
