Party Recap

It started innocently enough… W has a November birthday, and I wanted a circus theme but November is cold in Michigan so an outdoor circus tent was out. I just couldn’t get the tent idea out of my head. I ran the idea of building a circus tent by The Husband and was returned a quizzical look. He’s used to my zany plans, but we have an unfinished basement. How on earth was I planning on building a circus tent? Well, I wasn’t sure. But what I knew was a woman with a staple gun and an idea could not be stopped by silly pessimism and doubt.
