The past few weeks have been what we call in our family, birthday row. We have had 4 birthdays in our family in 2 weeks. My brother Ben's was the last, and so to not let on that we are all running out of birthday steam, I purchase a pinata to liven things up. I am the only one with kids in my family, and although the kids liked it, it was for the adults too, but if you are going to do a pinata you have to do it right.
So here is a list of my pinata pet peeves.
Pinata breaking is for the older ones, gathering the candy is for the kids.
I am all for letting the kiddies hit at it a couple of times, but pinatas are only fun if they are demolished and the candy can go flying in a million different directions.
If for some reason the pinata falls off of the rope, and the candy has not flown all over the place, then you tape it and try again. I HATE IT when people pick it up and dump it in a pile on the ground, it is lame
Whats up with all of the different candy rules. Honestly, what are the chances your eye is going to get poked out by a flying sucker.
So about 50 comments from people walking by, and 100 swings later it finally shattered into a million pieces and yes much to my and the kids delight, the candy flew everywhere.
And those are the rules for a good pinata. I am kind of embarassed for writing so much about pinatas. It is a little on the nerdy side, but oh well I am just keeping it real.

I love your pinata rules. Andrew's family has pinata rules too, which I won't go into here (a little embarrassing) but trust me, I understand.
That pinata was a lot of fun but i have one problem with the pictures that you posted. I am not in any of them. Which is weird because when you think about it was for my birthday and i was the one who ultimately broke the pinata.
Jane... you have a problem... hehe... just kidding. I miss you!
