I bought these little guys thinking I might use them for some kind of Easter cupcakes. I mean, they are cute in a marshmallowy sugar kinda way.
And look how much cuter they are on sticks. (couldn't resist.)
But, then as they lay in the kitchen next to my handy dandy edible ink pens
, I thought about something else I could do with them. Something a little less Easter, and potentially a lot more fun.
So I grabbed my red and black pens, turned these little guys over on their tummies and went to town. Oh, and I pinched their ears, too.
Don't laugh. I was bored.
Peeps + pens =
Pikachus or in this case … Peep-achus!
I don't think I can ever look at Peeps the same way again.
FYI… Pikachu is part of the Pokémon franchise owned by Nintendo. They're not something I know a whole lot about, but they were on my mind because I had just recently bought some Pokémon stuff for my friend's daughter who has been collecting these things for awhile.
See what I mean. There are like hundreds of these strange little creatures that belong to the Pokémon family, but Pikachu is the only one I know of by name and as you can see, pretty conducive to a Peep makeover. I couldn't wait to surprise her with them.
She squealed when they saw them and her little brother was pretty excited, too. Just seeing them smile makes me happy. Totally worth it.
Okay, so I mentioned Nintendo earlier for a reason. Have any of you ever played the Nintendo DS
? Because my niece got one for Christmas along with the Super Mario Bros.
game and I have become a-d-d-d-ddddicted to it. She'll come over to stay sometimes and when I pick her up, I'm like… "Sweetie, do you want to bring your Nintendo?" and "Don't forget the charger." (Insert evil laugh)
We'll sit on the sofa together and take turns. Well, she usually gets 10 turns to my one. Then, when I do get a turn, I usually die right away. But she, graciously offers to help … by taking it away from me … to show me what I did wrong! Then I wait another ten turns before I get another go. I should just buy one for myself, but, i'm scared to own it. I definitely wouldn't get much done until I could finish World 8. Besides, it's too much fun when we play together. Well, when I watch her play. :)
Anyway, you guys can see what I mean because I'm giving away one of these players! Yippee! (Super Mario Bros. not included.) Thank me later.
