Birthday Girl!!

So now that I have a bit of time on my hands I have been able to do some of those fun mom things. I also have decided that I need to be more frugal. Who knew it could be kinda fun too!

Tomorrow is Sari's birthday and she wants a Dora pinata. Lincoln had a (store bought) lightening McQueen pinata and loved it so of course Sari thinks she should get what she wants. Who am I to say no to her? Well you may be thinking that "you are her mom, you are supposed to say no sometimes." Well this isn't one of those times. Sari, Austin, Lincoln and I spent the last couple days up to our elbows in flour and water mixture making a homemade pinata. You should see my kitchen. ooo scratch that! don't look at my kitchen. there are puddles of white stuff all over and scraps of newspaper scattered everywhere! But, we made a pinata!!!

I put the kids to bed and then got to work painting the dang thing. I have to say, it looks more like Dora than I thought it would. Now if it will just last more than 3 wacks! Oh Sari insisted that we have birthday hats! So we made those too!

I'll let you know how the party goes! Whew, I'm gonna have a 4 year old to go with my 5 and 2 year old. Wahoo! lucky me!
