Saturday – Ryley’s dance class, grocery shopping for two parties, started a baby shower gift, made a baby carriage out of a watermelon (see below), cleaned our house and cooked birthday dinner for friends (pics to come)

Sunday – cut tons of fruit, made 4 gift baskets, decorated for the shower, played hostess at the shower, cleaned the hall, chased a little monster around, passed out in front of the tv

Im exhausted reading all that.  Im going to make this a quick post and go snuggle with my little man.

I was in charge of the fruit for the baby shower.  I didnt want any plan ole fruit tray, so I headed over to my trusty friend pinterest and found a tutorial for a baby carriage watermelon bowl.  Yes please!  Wanna know how easy this was?  Check it out..

Check the watermelon in half.. but only go half way down.

*side note – try to buy a melon with a flat bottom*

Flip it up and cut it until you reach your first cut.

Remove the the piece you just cut and put it aside.

Use a melon baller and scoop out the melon.

Take the piece you set aside and make a handle.. secure with toothpicks.

Make decorative wheels out of cardstock and attach with toothpicks.

Done! And soooo adorable!  I made it the night before and stuck it in the fridge until Sunday.  And after the shower there was no fruit left over.. I think it was because of how cute the the bowl turned out.  Ha! 😉  What fun thing did you do this weekend?  I’d love to see it!
