Registry Fun

Well we did it! We finally finished the baby registry. Wow, was that stressful!

The wedding registry was fun! I loved picking out dishes, soft towels, and serving platters.

But this registry was different. It wasn't that we thought it was un-fun. It was just so much more important. Put me in front of an aisle of Fiesta dishes any day over a 100 brands of bottles.

It was extremely overwhelming. Every beep of the hand held scanner (which Randy had way too much fun with by the way) made me gasp.

"Was that right?"
"Will we use that?"
"Is that brand durable? safe?"

Randy always asked, "Is there something cheaper?"

But the registries are done! Knock that off the list of things-to-do.
And we did have fun doing it. Especially because Randy was with me.


The Target Adventure:

Penny: "I think we need one of those little seat things. You know, there not bimbos, but kinda sound like it. What are those called?"

Randy: "Wait did you say bimbo? I think we missed that aisle! Maybe we should go back!"

hardy har har... it's a bumbo! And I just had a pregnancy brain moment.

Randy: "Hey this looks cool. I don't know what it does, but it looks cool!"

We also have a football toy and a blue bumbo on this registry. Hmmm...

The Babies R Us Adventure:

We get home from scanning, and I sign in online to review all the stuff that I have no idea if we need/will use/etc.

Wait, why are there skittles on our registry?

Penny: "Randy, did you scan skittles at the store?"
Randy: "What are you talking about?" (with a big grin on his face)
Penny: "Well we have a "concession" category on our registry with skittles under it."
Randy: "What, I like Skittles. They're good!"

I guess he thought he should get something too, since everything was for the baby."

We also have a set of boy bibs on the registry. Okay, okay, I know I should have put my foot down. But you should have seen Randy's face light up when he saw these.

Randy: "Look Penny! These bibs have concrete trucks, cranes, and bridges on them."
Penny: "Randy, those are for little boys."
Randy: in mid scan "I know plenty of girl civil engineers."

Well there you have it! You certainly don't want to discourage an engineering profession from solid foods and on, do you?
