ping pong and paper mache

Today i decided that it would be so awesome if i had colorful balls hanging from my ceiling. i'm not kidding. so i convinced my brother, Brussel Sprout, to let me use his neglected punch balloon. For a neglected balloon, he really cared about it, but we finally agreed that i would just buy him a new pack of punch balloons.  THEN, i couldn't find the newspaper! i reluctantly decided to use some paper bags.  the bags were terrible! They didn't rip the way newspapers do, and they were extremely heavy for paper. on top of that, they weren't exactly very bendy so i had to use short strips.  But, it worked, and i'm kind of happy with the way it's turning out! One more thing: i didn't have enough glue, so i had to use cornstarch! not the best for paper mache! oh well! the theme of that story: improvise! 


Brussel Sprout loves ping pong, but unfortunately, he needed 2 people. i'm his only sibling. UGH! i had to play ping pong while listening to him tell me ALL (there were a lot!) of my mistakes! but once i kind of (emphasis on kind of) got the hang of it, i loved it! our small family of 4 is going to have a ping pong tournament this summer!


Today's verdict: fun first day of summer! going swimming tonight!
