Presents everywhere! [35w5d]

We got a load of stuff today! Not just baby stuff, too. First off, we had attended a halloween...errr...."harvest" party at our apartment office on Wednesday and they had said costumes were encouraged. So Brian assembled half of a pirate costume (a hat from a costume store and a plastic sword) and we went and ate their food. Turns out, he won a gift basket for his costume! I think it's really because the office girls like us and know that snowp's on his way, but hey! Here's the gift basket:

If you have trouble identifying the objects, I will detail them for you: a lovely basket which will now become snowp's laundry basket, some Tide Free (love the stuff!), Bounce Free (yay for no dyes and perfumes!!!), some Arm and Hammer detergent, Tide Pen (one of my fav inventions of all time), a bottle of Shout gel (yes!), and a tide mesh laundry bag. How cool are our aparment workers???

In addition to the awesomeness of winning a basket full of laundry stuff, my work surprised me this afternoon with a baby shower of sorts! We were having a staff lunch (which I knew about), and then after we ate, everyone brought out bags of lovely baby stuff! SO awesome! So here I go detailing the gifts!

First, we have this lovely, handmade quilt with jungle creatures. It's a nice, heavy quilt that will keep our little guy nice and cozy this winter!
Then we have this amazing creation from our supremely creative former elementary school principal. Are those flowers?

No! It's all kinds of onesies, washcloths, and socks!My boss just got back from a disney cruise with his grandkids and he brought back this authentic disney cruise minnie mouse for our snowp.
Even the high schooler who snoops my blog brought something. Hi Nathan! :) A very nice, heavy receiving blanket with cars that match snowp's nice heavy towel. Matching things! Woot. Also, some burp clothes that match more blankets we have!

High school co-worker also helped with the shopping of this basket of wonderfulness from the girl who started at the office the same time I did. I will attempt to detail all the stuff in this one too: we have a Johnson's bedtime bath set (smells soooo good!), a set of two towels and two washcloths (now we can clean the snowp!), an awesome little penguin onesie (no Christy, you may not steal it for Daisy.), the coolest bib ever since it has a MOOSE on it!!, a cute little stuffie/blankie combo and I like rubbing on my face, and BOOKS! The Lorax (environmentally friendly edition), Goodnight Moon, Guess How Much I Love You, Dr. Seuss' ABCs, Put Me in the Zoo, and....Are You My Mother?

In addition, she got this awesome card that reads: "It smells funny, makes a lot of noise, and depends on you for everything!" The inside reads "But enough about your husband. Congratulations on your baby!" Loved it!

AND, her sister is donating some hand-me-downs from her boys to the cause of Operation: Keep Baby From Being Naked.

I had to have snowp model the cuteness of that bib:
