Decorations Disaster

Back in the day (on my other blog), I used to write a little story with Jenny every Saturday.  I would wake up before the babies on Saturday morning and make-up a fun little 100 word story about a prompt found at Jenny's Saturday Centus.

And then we moved.  And then Saturdays got busy.  And then I stopped playing along. 

I miss it ... so, I'm back (new blog -- was Just Thinkin') but still same 'ole me.

The story can't be more than 100 words (not including the prompt), and the prompt is bolded.  Enjoy
