Baby under construction

Oh the sweet blessings in life! One major one was the awesome shower 3 very special women threw for me a month ago. {I have been super busy getting ready for this baby!} Wyatt's Grandma, Bubby and Auntie pulled out all the stops and fused manly construction {for Wyatt} and a yummy tea {for me}. It was adorable!

I don't have all the pictures back from everyone taking them, so the few I have will have to do!

When guests arrived the walked down a path of construction cones and balloons with Wyatt's name on them.



The house was draped with "caution" tape and blue tarp table cloths. The table was filled with some of my favorite foods, including hard hat cut-outs of egg salad sandwiches. But to make the table set-up even cuter, they used BIG trucks as serving platters!! {which doubled as future toys to keep my little boy very entertained!} My mom, the cake maker extraordinaire, made 2 cakes. A dump truck and a construction worker Teddy bear... So cute!!



My grandma {Wyatt's Great Grandma} made her yummy chocolate in the shapes of tools as favors with caution tape ribbon... Which admittedly I still am snacking on since I took a handful.

We played some fun games... One which was super creative and a true brain-buster. Guest were give paper men with different textiles on them and had to guess the profession based on the meaning of that fabric. {example: a blue cotton print was a architect, and a piece of batting would make him a baseball player... Get it? Cute huh?!} And as prizes, guests won girlie floral print tool sets!



My chair was reserved with this cute sign...



Other signs read "Inspector Bubby", "Foreman Grandma" and "Unskilled Worker" (for Jess..heehee)!

All in all it was a wonderful day filled with wonderful family and friends! To my amazing hostesses, thank you for the countless hours spent to make this day truly special! All the fun details and decorations made this little boys shower a true stand out! I feel blessed to have family like you three and I know Wyatt will feel the love overflowing for his G-Mas and Auntie! I love you all!
