Ribbons and Bows, Tutus and Pearls: Baby Shower
Jake told me today, "I'm glad that party is over". I said, "why" and he said, "because that was way too much work". I laughed because of course he didn't even do any of the work (except maybe watch K part of the day OF the shower). But for me, it's work that I love....
