It's not what you think! My officemate at work is having a baby so we had a baby shower at work for her. My boss suggested we play "WACKA-BABY" (a baby Piñata). So I volunteered to make the baby Piñata! I went home and told Jed all the things we needed to do and casually threw in "Oh and we need to make a baby this weekend". It threw him off guard a little but he was happy to help ;). He didn't help very much--but come on, men can't contribute much to making a baby. He helped me blow up the balloons, I taped them together and started the Maché.
It was kind of messy, it was time consuming and took a few days. We had lots of fun joking about "our baby"
After the paper maché, Jed helped me spray paint it.
And the final product!!
Our Baby!!
One a different note, we drove out by the Turnagain to check out the ice. The tide was low, so we got a great look at all the Ice.
You just about made my heart stop with that title! :) I better not find out on your blog that you are pregnant! Your paper mache baby is very cute, though.
ReplyDeleteYou totally had me thinking you were pregnant. Haha. Way to go on the pinata though! It's cute!
ReplyDeleteOK that made me laugh right out loud. especially the parallels between making a real baby and a paper mache one. Men are there for the first, but the long haul is the mom. I love "whack a baby" too!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd be able to handle whacking a fake, paper mache baby. Eep! But hopefully the shower was fun. :D
ReplyDeletepractice makes perfect
