Our Home-made Pinata

We do a play date once a week with another family with two boys. Their mom and I try to have a little activity for them to do each time, just in case they want something more to do than play with toys. We thought it would be fun to make a home-made-pinata then have a costume party for Halloween. So, here are B & S working on their pinata. We just used an old box then put crumpled up tissue paper on it. Turned out pretty good! They all had such fun with the pinata. B especially loved the suckers and S liked the gum. B yelled "Thanks Mom for doing such a good job getting us lolly-pops!" as soon as the pinata was broken. It was really cute.



Poor little E wasn't have too much fun. She was tired and crying her head off (a rare thing) because no one was holding her while the boys were hitting the pinata. I just had to make sure no one was getting hit by the bat! They were so excited they kept stepping in each others way.

Vernice giving them instructions. Notice how Nathan the fireman is off away from B & S. For some reason he was terrified of their gorilla and dragon costumes and wouldn't come near them. I'm sure it didn't help that S was chasing him around with his dragon tail. =)
