Pinata

Madeline and Abigail have birthdays 4 days apart from another. And Jeremy's birthday is on Abbie's...or the other way around, really. The girls will have a combined party this year, which is unprecedented as far as having an actual party goes. It's usually just cake and ice cream with family. But Maddie turns the big 5 this year, so I thought it would be nice to have friends over too.

They've decided on a fairy princess theme (sorry boys) and as we browsed Walmart the other week, they spotted the perfect pinata: Cinderella's castle. For $20. I figured we've got resources to build one ourselves, so why not?


So we're making our own pinata instead. The girls LOVE the idea of a custom designed castle! We worked on the bones today, now we just need some newspaper and lots of "glue". More to come...and I'm sure that it'll end up looking more like a princess castle and less like a factory in the end.
