I was overall most impressed by A's and M's cooperation on decorating the house. Our teenager got out the ladder and strung streamers and blew up balloons and rearranged the furniture. We had Cars balloons and Happy Birthday balloons and even balloons with the birthday girl's name on them! And now 6 weeks later, we still do. They never seem to go away! 
During the preparations, we quarantined the two mischief-makers in a small fort. No, it didn't last at all, but they had a good time playing, and looked pretty cute together if I do say so myself!
