2nd attempt at picture post. I think I've got it this time.
I was having breakfast here out on the deck and decided it was a Kodak moment. One of those little moments of peace and quiet.
3 Spoke Wheel-Sam's band-in the magazine. The guy on the far right who looks like a kid standing next to the wrestler? My boy wearing the dreaded mariachi pants. And I sort of wish he'd lose the vest too. Maybe I need to talk to the cats about peeing on that????
Matt's dog, Buk (short for Bukowski) that I have custody of for the next 6 months. Half poodle, half pug, and totally adorable. And one of my 30 solar lights.
A rare sighting of all 3 cats. Freshly washed sheets explains it all. Front one is Timber (technically Matt's cat that I inherited), second one on the left is Leon the 20lb Maine Coon cat that is Sam's, and third one is my girl Neko who rules the house. So I only-TECHNICALLY-own one cat which makes me NOT crazy cat lady)
Shower time-this is about a third of the gifts.
There were 7 more tables set up that were completely full in the backyard.
Matt on the right before his eyes started glazing over after opening all the presents with Andie.
Buk hanging out where the caterers were cooking. Baby blue bandana compliments of me.
Unless its for a band shoot, its hard to ever get a picture of Sam.
Opening gifts. Each gift had to be held up and the person personally thanked for it. Took 2 hours.
I had some fun moments and some really weird moments. I'll spill the details tomorrow.
Stick a fork in me, I'm done for the day.

sweet!! I love pictures and being able to visualize my friends and their families and loved ones:) awesome! I love your deck area - how lovely to be able to spend so much time outside. The shower was huge!! these two kids have a lot of friends! Did they get a good haul? That little pug/poodle is adorable!! I was always a fan of big dogs ( /Kitty being typical:)) but after having my first little non shedding pup, I love him so much I can't imagine going back to big!! It's funny to see the cats all hanging out together - like a pack of little lions:) Sam looks like a rocker to me - seriously, if I saw him I'd think he was either a skateboarder or in a band or both lol!! cuties your boys are. Good kids:) thanks for the pics!
@knickersinaknot - As far as the dogs go? Once you go small, that's all. Daisy the Lab that I lost was 90 lbs. we've got raccoons bigger than Buk! Mandie got so much that we are trying to figure out where to store it. And there were a lot of envelopes with cash/checks handed to them. I'm beginning to think I want Mandie to adopt me (the baptism will be between 100-150 people, or I come back in my next life as Potuguese.
ah -- so you survived the shower! your deck looks lovely -- mine is weather worn & grey but serves its purpose... you've got 2 cats like mine! funny how they cannot resist fresh clean laundry... i once had a cat that thought a vinyl bean bag chair was a great place to pee -- must be certain types of material they don't like? anyway -- looks like quite a haul for the baby shower! will there be more gifts for the baptism? wow!
@fireandicecat - 80+ for the shower. Have been told to expect 150+ for the baptism.
