What a "Pig" Time It Was!

Meg has been obsessed with pigs for a long time. When she was only two she helped to convince Papaw to get a pet pig after watching Charlotte's Web. It was no surprise to me when she decided upon a pig theme for her party this year. It was the first time in a couple of years that a princess theme wasn't chosen, so I was kinda glad it was different. We found very cute pig plates, cups, napkins a pinata out of a catalog and I had some great help at school create a giant pig for Pin the Tail on the Pig. This is when being a teacher with a creative assitant really pays off! :)

Meg's cousins and friend came over about noon. One friend was unable to make it because she was sick. Meg's big concern with this was that she wasn't going to get her present from her. We've got a little work to do in that area yet.....:/ We ate Pigs in a Blanket, cheese puffs and apples for lunch. Mud Puddles were our dessert (a brownie with some hot fudge in the middle...mmmmm!) Then we painted pig noses and a pot to plant a flower in a little later outside on the deck. (I forgot to tell that the weather was absolutely PERFECT! It was about 70 degrees and completely sunny. I couldn't have asked for better weather!) After that we played Pin the Tail on the Pig where everyone won a book....why wouldn't that be the prize since Meg's mom is a teacher right???? Then we went to the basement to bust the pinata. It was supposed to be a pull string one which didn't work out quite right, but that didn't matter. We eventually busted into it and the girls had just as much fun picking up all the stuff and putting in their bags. I'm sure the little horns were parents' favorites. HA HA! After that, they went back to jump on the trampoline and play on the swingset for a little while to wait for the pig noses to dry. Then, we had a pig snorting contest which was pretty cute. They all planted sunflower seeds to tend to and take home too. It was a fast couple of hours and I think it was lots of fun. Meg was pretty tired afterwards and took a nice long nap.
