And Speaking of Peeps…

I am addicted to Pinterest. I wish I had this available to me when my kids were young. I would have been Betty Crocker/Martha Stewart/Susie Homemaker all rolled into one. I would have been the ultimate Stepford mom. Oh, sure, I would never have worn a dress, but I was an awesome stay-at-home mom for many years.

So, while working on the previous blog post on colored peeps, I came across creativity with a capital “C” when it came to what people do with Easter peeps. The fake ones this time.

I can honestly say that I have never tried a peep. I guess it is made of marshmallow, right? I just have no desire. But, look how I can decorate with them since I don’t eat them.

I can put them in a vase. I will do this next year. Except, won’t their little bodies leave marshamallow imprints on the glass? I mean, they are smooshed up against the glass? Sigh. I guess I could actually wash it out when I am done with it.

Peeps Centerpiece

I can make a little strip club for them

R U KIDDIN ME?  This is too funny, show all your peeps!

They can be made into a wreath. Just don’t put it on your front door. Especially if the sun shines right on it. Well, then again, go ahead.

You can make a political or religious statement

You could make a topiary and stick in the middle of your table as the centerpiece.

Ok, now we are talking. You can make peeps jello shots. I may want to try one now.

Peeps Jello Shots - yes, they have alcohol

You can perform a science experiment with peeps. I am soooo doing this with my fourth graders next Easter.

Peeps -- and they have to be stale!

All in all, peeps seem to have found their place with bunnies and baskets and eggs each Easter. One of these days I will try a peep. Maybe.
