decorations

Yesterday I mentioned that April was having a tea party for a few friends in honour of one them's birthday. Well, now its about eight people and horror of horrors she came upstairs last night with.....crepe paper streamers in her hands.

I detest decorations..of any sort. No matter how cute, how pretty and how well they are put up, the place just looks messy. And, they never go away. Not really.

This delightful daughter still has cobwebs in the corner of her living room from halloween. There was a "spider" on our front door window that would still be residing there except for one thing...we bought a new door and replaced the old one. And you know when you pull down those streamers how the little pinned in ends tear off and stay behind? That will be there FOREVER!!!

So up she came, apologizing all the while, and put up acres of streamers. Oh, it looks festive and pink and Jess will love it. But...we shall see. I will report back after the party on how clean the decoration removal is! (and as I sit here, I see one of the streamers has already disconnected and fallen on one side, knocking everything out of balance..which hurts my libran necessity for symmetry! )
