I learned a new trick yesterday.
Two and a half weeks ago, we hosted a baby shower for friends at our house. I blew up a bunch of balloons, and tied them various places around the living room. All very festive.
Full disclosure: I HATE balloons. They totally freak me out. It was a HUGE step for me to have balloons in the house. at all.. and I even blew them up!
But....party over and done with. I forgot to hand them out to the kids who attended.
What do I do with the balloons???? I'll wait for them to deflate. They do that over time, right??? So I waited. And waited. And waited. Two and a half weeks, and these things were still fully inflated in all their stress inducing glory.
Great. How do I get rid of the things?
Well, DH knew a trick all along.
Put a piece of scotch tape on the balloon, and put a pin through the tape.
Huh??
But, yowza. It worked!!! The tape holds the ballon from the pop I fear the most. It slowly deflated.
Yay!!! I can now get rid of unwanted balloons!
So....that was my new trick for the week. Thought I'd pass it along.
