Preschool Cinco de Mayo Party

So this year Wills was in a preschool co-op with 4 of his friends... Audrey, Clark, Jane, and Sydney. He had a great 1st semester of school (we did it Jan. through May). The last week was at our house, so Wills helped me make a pinata and maracas for the party. The pinata was a cheater version (after paper mache-ing the maracas I was over it, so we made the pinata by wrapping balls of newspaper (& of course candy & those little plastic jumping frog things) in the shape of a big ball and then taped paper cones all around and covered it in tissue paper to make it look like the real deal. :) When you asked Wills what was inside the pinata (expecting to hear "candy!"), he would say "newspaper, candy & frogs!". The kids danced to mariachi music, learned some spanish words, ate nachos for their snack, and then spent 30 minutes trying to pummel the pinata with a lacrosse stick. They had an absolute blast! We'll miss preschool this summer! Can't wait til next year!
