The morning before the party, I woke up and asked the kids if they wanted to make a pinata.  Why not?!?  It’s not like we had anything else to do.  Mark just laughed at me and so, the challenge was on to occupy their time and prepare for a party complete with a homemade pinata.

I’ve made one before with my mom, so Mark and I thought for sure the kids would enjoy it.  Zoe and Josiah did.  Ace and Liam weren’t thrilled about getting their hands dirty.  Mark and I had a blast.  This was his first pinata making experience.  It was ready to decorate the next day.  I decided that since Ace chose a dinosaur birthday cake, we’d make a volcano pinata.

Saturday morning…trying to get it decorated before the party that afternoon.

While I painted, Ace and Liam got the party favors ready.
