Balloons!

For Eli's Valentine party at school, their class gave them the red heart balloon.  They played with them in every room, including the living room with high vaulted ceilings.  They got stuck and the kids tried to get them down with stools and the picker-upper.  I eventually, tied a longer string on them so the kids could get them down.  They also got stuck on the fan and slowed it down.  After that, we said no more balloons in the living room.
