piñata of steel
Here's J hitting the world's strongest piñata at his Cinco de Mayo party. After about ten minutes of each of them patiently taking turns, the teachers resorted to unmasking them and letting them beat the stuffing out of it on the gym floor. You should have seen those kids, normally so well behaved and calm, all wild-eyed and wack-wack-wacking that stubborn thing. I've never laughed so hard in my life! I couldn't even hold up the camera- I was completely in tears! Oh, it makes me start up again just thinking about it...
breathe. calming deep breaths.
Anyway, we're on our own this weekend. Brian is off on his annual boys weekend. I'm not bitter at all that he left on the day of our ten year anniversary. (Ok, maybe just a little. In the grand scheme of things, I really lucked out in the husband department, so I'll get over it.) The three of us have nice calm plans for the weekend, hanging out together playing, maybe baking some sweet rolls and tending to our garden.
You go have some fun yourselves, you hear?! Take good care, friends.

I love kids and pinatas. Maisy went to a party where they had a pinata that you pulled the ribbon. Each kid that got a dud ribbon just looked like "wha? geez, that was dumb."

Pinatas always crack me up. The kids always seem like, "Really, you want me to hit this thing with a stick?"

Happy Anniversary! 10 years! That seems unreal. My husband and I celebrate 8 years of marriage this year, 10 years of relationship. I just can't believe that he's been in my life for a decade!
We went to a birthday party last fall with a pinata of steel as well. What possesses the pinata manufacturers to make them so unbreakable?!!!
Have a good weekend with your littles, sweet friend.

We learned a few years ago, when the kids couldn't break the pinata and the adults had to step in, that you're supposed to wet it a bit before the hitting begins. Who knew?
