The Memorial Day Bash

This year, our family get together was a family picnic/baby shower event. Normally family get togethers for us can become dangerous situations. One recent event involved someone going off over cheese, not cutting cheese, cubes of cheese. So the suggestion of a baby shower added event made it seem harmless... or not.
First off, this is my newest grand baby (in the tummy) and it looks as though he is over due... nope the due date is still three weeks away. I am afraid he is going to be a full grown toddler when he gets here. The father of the baby still hatching (my son) came into this world a whole two weeks over due. Just how big was he you wonder? He came?weighing 10 pounds and was 23 inches long.?He was so big they had to break his collarbone type big. I guess it could have been worse, with the problem of the gestational diabetes stuff.
?My sister in law was pregnant at the same time and we both delivered on the same day. So I have sworn that mine just held on for his cousin to get here, wasn't that my luck? Anyway this grand Memorial Day event was held in the park. Normally when we get together we have to rent places or a church hall to hold the event because no one has a house or yard that big, and there is the issue of parking. My parents have four kids x ten grand kids x six and half great grand kiddies adding in the nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins who all attend these kinds of events. So I had to be like the Welcome Committee, alerting everyone to the pregnant momma in their midst and to please refrain from using words or phrases such as: "OMG You are glowing! AND Look at your canckles! ALSO "Are you nesting yet?" I quietly told them, "She isn't glowing. It is 95 degree's outside thats sweat."?AND "She is carrying a toddler, and I can't blame her for being a little hormonal today just look at her cankles as just her mood meter today. If you see them swell anymore it would be best to use nice inside voices!"?ALSO "Uh, she is well past the nesting as you can see the nesting occurred many months ago, so lets not bring it up!" We had fun and she left with some nice parting gifts which is always nice. So, how did you enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend??
Don't forget?to catch?the?Blogger Spotlights?you will definitely not regret it. ?Also are you stuck on something to write about??Check out this?new page I have added,?Blog Hop Junkie.?There is something to write for everyone.
