pinata numero uno, originally uploaded by Ladygirl.

Ethan has been hounding me to make a pinata for the last two days. I tried explaining that I didn’t know how. I tried explaining we didn’t have the stuff we needed to make one. He didn’t let up and he was resorting to trying to make one on his own (putting a bunch of stuff between two pieces of paper and getting very frustrated when it didn’t work). So today, I helped make a “pinata”. Tissue paper he decorated and I sewed up. It has whiffle balls in it. We hung it up and he went to town. He loved it. We made two. It took forever to break the things…much more durable than I thought! I was hoping that our pinata making would satiate him, but he just wants to make more. Now he is drawing pictures of pinatas. Guess we will be having a pinata at his birthday. But I’m not making it.
