mrs. jones took a short break today to help decorate for a party meg’s grade gave celebrating the olympics and benefitting haiti.  minimizing the expenses to maximize the donation, we got global with some beach balls, created torches for the games & awards, and stenciled olympic rings on to butcher paper for the tables.  with a great dj (how many times did he play “party in the u.s.a.”?  was anyone counting?) and the ben & jerry’s truck there, it couldn’t not be a blast.  the girls went home with happy feet and a t-shirt party favor.  the upshot: a nice donation to eathquake relief efforts.
