Pinatas

For family home evening a couple weeks ago Nate decided to help the kids make pinatas. I know my kids LOVE crafts, but I try to avoid them as much as possible because I get all grumpy and ornery. I suck the fun right out of them. I don't want to deal with the extra mess. I have plenty of other messes to worry about. But what fun is life if you don't make a few "fun" messes once in awhile? I need to do better. This was all Nate, though... from start to finish.


Uh-oh! Here goes Tye.... something's making him upset. The night wouldn't be complete without some kind of meltdown from him!






The plan is to add another layer (haven't done that yet) and let the kids buy their own candy to fill them. Then of course break them open. Someday. For now they are still on my kitchen counter..... waiting for Nate naturally. :)

And this is what little Liza did the whole time. Something must have startled her and she fell asleep that way OR she's offering free hugs....
