You know you're an adult when....


... You get excited about receiving diapers! Aaron likes the fact that I am completely gullible. I slightly resent this because I don't view myself as gullible - I just implicitly trust my husband. Which I believe as his wife I am supposed to do.
A little over a week ago I was calling around trying to find out what the Tuesday night activity for mutual was. I kept calling my councilor but she didn't pick up... which was strange she was usually home. So eventually I gave up and called the President and she told me that the activity was a surprise for the girls and just to show up at the church house for opening exercises and we'll go from there. She also mentioned I could bring Aaron if I wanted to. Thinking nothing of it I went about my day and mentioned to Aaron that he could come with me to mutual - he said he thought that it was going to be miniature golfing or something.

So we get to the church house and opening exercises are not in the Primary room. As a matter of fact there isn't a young woman to be seen. At this point I am beginning to wonder what is going on. One of the leaders takes me into the Young Women's room and there are all the young women waiting for us. They threw us a surprise shower!!

They had made a cake of diapers decorated with booties and hair ribbons. They also got a few cute outfits for AJ.

My favorite part of the evening was when the each of the girls wrote a reason why they thought I was going to be a good mom and read it aloud. It was hard not to cry!

We also played a game that a couple of the Laurels came up with. They melted four different chocolate bars and placed them in diapers... we then had to look and smell them and try to decide what type of candy bar is was. It was hilarious to watch everyone smell the "poopy" diapers!

It was so sweet of the girls to throw me a shower and to feel their love and support - we have a wonderful ward!

Fun! Surprise showers are the best! We played that game at my sisters baby shower (the chocolate in the diaper game). It was hillarious because my other sister tried to melt the chocolate in the microwave and we ended up with "burnt poopie". Fortunately in real life that rarly happens ;-). hehe.
