That's a strange scenario. ...Hi, dear Sherry!<br /><br />That's a strange scenario. I think Dear Abby would say that it was rather presumptuous of your daughter's friend's mom to ask your daughter to host the party at your house w/o contacting you directly. Perhaps she assumed it was just a simple two girl sleepover, her daughter and yours, and that no decorating would be involved. Even so, she should have contacted you to make sure it was okay.<br /><br />Enjoy the rest of your week, dear friend Sherry!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629102377276886689.post-91659861251752780962016-05-24T00:48:29.595-04:002016-05-24T00:48:29.595-04:00Yeah, a heads-up woulda been nice.Yeah, a heads-up woulda been nice.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.com
