It's Pinata Time!

Last week at 4:00 all the mommy's and 2 daddys got together to make pinata's. Lots of laughing (at us from the moms) as Rick and I cut, wrapped, glued and fringed our first pinata.

We used glue but many moms brought the traditional paste made from flour and water.

There is also a trick to cutting and crepe paper, luckily we had a lesson on the art of cutting from one of the moms, or we could have ended up with a, "feo pinata."


The moms were talking, (very fast), laughing and "complaining" about making the pinatas but they seemed to really enjoy themselves. Start to finish it took Rick and I nearly 2 hours to finish!

Sounds like fun. I would really enjoy learning to make a pinata. The pinata is such an important part of all celebrations here - one of our many learnings ...
