After years of watching from the sidelines, the kids and I finally put together an entry for the Washington Post’s annual Peeps Diorama Competition<\/a>. Have you SEEN what people come up with for this thing? Half of the dioramas seem to be outfitted with electricity. And the detail! I can do detail when it comes to words, but I kind of lose it when it comes to marshmallow fluff. As our chances of making it into the Post’s gallery are slim, I figured I’d post a couple of pictures here. I’m pretty proud of what we came up with, and we had a fun time pulling it together!<\/p>\n

My son came up with the title for our diorama after last year’s Peeps competition. Our only real rule was that we weren’t allowed to go out and buy a bunch of stuff. Except for Peeps. I did splurge on the wallpaper (19 cents a sheet, on sale). Everything else we had around the house. Admittedly, we’re luckier than a lot of people doing dioramas because a. we already have a lot of crafts stuff and b. we have Barbies<\/a>, which means we had shoes for Peepi (though I can’t see Barbie ever wearing these, can you? Ken, either, for that matter. They must have belonged to somebody else, though I can’t imagine who.) <\/p>\n

Presenting : Peepi Longstocking!<\/p>\n
