dance dance dance

The big 8th grade dance is finally here... and good thing because I've just about worn myself out helping with the decorating. Last night I was climbing 20 foot ladders stringing Christmas lights on the ceiling (and I'm terrified of heights). Tonight I was literally rolling out the red carpet (at least that kept me off those scary ladders).

The place looks great, but I can't help but shake my head at the extent these parents go to in the decorating. What happened to the days when they'd just place a bunch of balloons near the gym's basketball hoops? :) (Yes, I sound old & cranky).
