No Party Is A Party Without A Piñata!

(Moved from previous blog, posted July 14, 2011)

I am currently planning maybe the BIGGEST birthday party of my career... My baby boy, Maxton's, 1st (!) BIRTHDAY bash! It has been such an honor and blessing watching this little one grow from no longer a baby, but an actual toddler!

Why is it that these babies grow and progress so much more in this first year than ANY other of their adolescence?  Seriously, they go from an entirely liquid diet, to solid food... Crawling, to walking... Hardly moving at all, to virtually running away from you!  And then here you are, one unsettlingly short year later, tearing up as you make your sweet baby a paper mache, elephant head piñata...

The theme is The Circus! And no not a cheesey red, yellow and blue, I belong in even the 80's clearance bins... But a classy white, red and gold palleted, no clowns allowed, kind of circus. Why? Because Maxton is a classy baby, that's why; who deserves a non-corny 1st (!) birthday party =)
Coming from Arizona, where we obviously have piñatas galore,  I thought... Pshhh, my son can't ring in his 'new' year without a piñata!  Because, "No party is a party without a piñata!"

Unfortunately, while on my ventures through town, I have yet to find the appropriate heap of glued news&tissue paper for my kiddo's 'Classy Circus Birthday Party.'  Now for the number 1 rule for how I operate... First seek.  If the world fails to impress you, impress yourself, OR hire MEEE =) ... Now I am putting my 4th grade art project skills to darn good use as I set out to create a 'classy' elephant head piñata, utilizing 1 balloon. (*Sigh...*) The things I get myself into.
