I was torn about this one. I wanted the boys to participate in the process, but I also wanted the decorations to be aesthetically pleasing. We ended up compromising. The boys placed window gels on the door in any way they wanted, while I decorated the back door and arranged a center piece for our dining room table. You will notice a piece of paper on the front door above the window gels. That was added at Lennon's insistence. He wanted a sign on the door to remind people to close it (he has seen this somewhere else recently). The sign was dictated by Lennon and says:
Warning!
Make sure this door is closed!
Because sometimes Sandy might
get out of her cage and be
in front of the door
and Maisy might chase her out
and we wouldn't have pets.
Sandy is my classroom hamster who is home visiting for the summer. Maisy is our cat. How the process of decorating the door prompted this note is beyond me. I am constantly amazed at the workings of a 6-year-old mind.
