Surprise!!!!!!

Sunday we organized a surprise baby shower for my friend Erin who is due any day now. It was a huge hit!!! Erin is a singer and when she found out that Paul recently got Rock Band she couldn't wait to come over and sing. We invited her and another couple over on Sunday "to play Rock Band" except that it was really for Erin's shower. We invited lots of people, had lots of food and drink, sprinklers for the kids set up -- everything. And then Erin decided she wasn't coming! Late Saturday night I got an email from her saying that her mom was still in town and they just didn't know their plans and they'd have to reschedule!!! 33 people were coming to my house on Sunday!!! Sunday morning at 8, I got a phone call from her husband telling me not to worry, that he would make it happen. So, right on time, they showed up and she noticed all of these people from Mom's Club and Swimming and she freaked out! She was dressed to go to Wal-Mart! Her mom snuck her make up bag in the car (she also knew about the surprise) and Erin kept saying to her hubby "why didn't you tell me!" It turned out to be a fantastic afternoon. Any day now Baby Smith!!!
