thomas decided he would make a pinata for kennedy's birthday. i will be the first to admit that I really didn't help all that much. to be totally honest, i put about 15 minutes into it, and made sure to capture it on camera!
when he first mentioned making a pinata, i wasn't sure how it would turn out. i googled "pinata and paper mache" and instantly had 20+ websites telling me how to do it.
see, here is where I helped for a few minutes and then made sure to document it so when thomas said i didn't help, i could prove him wrong! ;-)
i think the finishing touches took the longest to complete. it took three layers of paper mache and then two additional days to dry. it held $40 bucks worth of candy-- which reminded me that every year candy will be super cheap b/c of halloween. lucky for us!
the birthday girl got the first whack at it... then we let the kids hit it in order of their age. it worked out really well b/c the oldest boy, Daniel, got the last whack and then the candy came falling down. it is something that we will do for all of kennedy's birthdays in the future. ;-)
