99 luftballons

We went to Tanya's birthday party last night which was red themed. Tanya and I went beforehand and got 99 red balloons (as per the song!). The party store is not far from Tanya's house, so Andrew dropped us there, took a few pics, and Tanya and I walked down the very busy El Camino Real with our balloons.



The party was very red themed, and everyone there managed to wear at least something red, so the place looked very cool!





We took a couple of helium balloons home - we figured the cats would have fun playing with them. We tied a toy mousey to the end of a balloon, attached the other balloon as well to give the mousey more buoyancy, and there we had it. THE best cat toy ever. All three cats had a great time chasing the floating mouse around the house. Even after we went to bed we could hear the sound of balloons bouncing around the ceiling :) Needless to say, not one cat disturbed us all night, not one cat slept with us, and this morning when I went to find them, they were all downstairs. Smudge and Stumpy ran towards me when they heard me, and Lily was sitting under the balloons, so I guess they were still playing with the balloons!

I took video of it with the digital camera if you want a giggle. We had to put a music track to it, as all you could hear otherwise was Andrew and I giggling in the background... :)
