One Sunday morning, a couple weeks ago, the kids decided to make a pinata. I believe that it was Dallins idea...They decided NOT to inform the parents, but to rather make it themselves. They had a bowl of water which they were dipping ripped computer paper into and them trying to form something with it. Luckily, they were smart enough to do it in the bathroom (good thing because it soon made a BIG mess). Dad was the first to catch them. He got a bit worried about what the kids were up to when he realized how quiet it was in the house.
I just want to add right here that he earned super extra Daddy points for what happened next. He very politely asked them what they were doing. When he learned they were making a pinata he offered to help. He did not yell at them and tell them what a mess they had made and ask why they thought that was ok to do. He directed them in how to make a pinata, and then in shirt and tie, helped them make a gooey pinata. What a great Dad, he was my example that day.
They patiently waited for their pinata to dry and then the really fun part - Paint! Of coarse, Dad helped them with that as well. He opened cans of house paint for them to use and they each got a section to decorate. It came out very colorful and they were all so proud of themselves. We saved the pinata for a special get away to Alamosa.
