Piggy Bank



I was watching Martha Stewart the other day (cuz thats what stay at home moms do right?) and she made this little paper mache piggy bank out of a 2L bottle, an egg carton and newspaper. I thought it looked like fun so I made one for Annika. I used the Wall Street Journal Money and Marketplace sections so its covered with articles about the recession and job loss, etc. I thought it would be cool for Annika to look at this in the future and see where our economy was when she entered the world.

Annika loved the little piggy. She was very interested in that little slit where the money goes...she's already trying to get it out:) Then she moved on to the tail and tried to rip it off...we'll see how long the little piggy makes it...
