Take two rolls of 99¢ streamers and three packs of $1.00 tissue.
Decorate for a pink and yellow party.
Instantly fall in love with how happy it looks.
Proceed to leave it up for a month, because of aforementioned happiness.

Sadly take it down for a Lakers party, after failing to convince your darling husband that pink and yellow is exactly the same as purple and yellow.

They better win.
Seriously.
They better.

  8. My streamers never look like that. Hope the Lakers win. My high school's mascot name was Lakers.
    My nephew posted a picture of his little boy in those denium pull ups on face book today and the comment was: Jack now poops in his jeans.
    Now that was funny. HIs little boy just turned 2 and is huge.

  13. OK Julie... I have to say, I want to MOVE IN to your adorable house!!! It is SO happy & bright! I adore it, seriously. :) And the streamers should definitely be allowed to stay up year round!

    I am throwing a bridal shower at the end of the month and am totally snagging your tissue paper and streamers idea. And I may never take it down. :)
