Pinata Pinata!

We've been working on a project for the past few weeks. 

What could this be??

A totally awesome TRICERATOPS PINATA! is what it is.  We missed an integral photo here but Sean constructed the horns and plate out of.. i don't know what.  It looks pretty great though. 

Now for the crepe paper.  I don't know how many bits of crepe paper i've cut in my life. I've never kept track, but if there was a contest, I am sure I would win.  You could say this was tedious, and you could also say i blazed through it in 2 days, and also that I'm awesome. 

And now it's finished! Hold it up!

We decided it was kind of a combo of a dinosaur and a warthog. Warthogasaurus? Hogceratops? Trihogatops? ha ha. good one.    This Trihogatops was for the birthday party for me Julian.  I he looooves pinatas.  Who doesn't?    However, where we decided to have the opening to fill with candy was a little odd.  I felt a little... uncomfortable filling it.

 

And here it is in action. 

It took a while to get it busted open so at the end, i was allowed to go at it without the blindfold.  I will say this: Taking a stick to a pinata is a fine way to celebrate the first year of having a baby. 

Here I am trying to be all delicate and whatever about hitting a pinata. 

 Then I got into it a bit more. I think you can see pieces flying.  Spraying candy over the crowd was the grand finale.

I will probably put more pics up about the party on the other blog, but I wanted to show you the greatness that is Sean, the Pinata-Maker.
