It's A Date

Cody asked a friend to the Winter Formal dance last week. He asked her by carving a hole in the bottom of 2 solid chocolate Santas and rolling up two tiny pieces of paper with his first name on one and his last name on the other. He took a cute Christmas plate and put the Santas on it and surrounded it with candy. Then he (me too) wrote a cute poem telling her what to do and he placed the poem on the plate. Basically it said that she had to break open the Santas to find out who her date would be to the dance. She answered him a few days later by bringing over almost 100 balloons with little random sayings in them. She put them all over his room and put a note on the door saying that he had to pop the balloons. She was tricky though because she came over while he and I were at the college fair and she had Cody's dad hide the balloon with the answer in it and told him not give it to Cody until he had popped all the other balloons. I really detest the sound of popping balloons and it was difficult for me to stand there and listen to him pop them all. Connor was really excited and he wanted to help really bad but Cody was insistent that he alone would pop them all. Finally after popping all the balloons and not finding an answer, his dad pulled out the one that was hidden and Cody popped it to find the answer yes inside. He was pretty excited. This is his first formal dance and he is eagerly planning and preparing so that they have a good time.
