Poppy Playtime Craft Novels & Stories

I continued my barrage of jokes, moving my body to face Poppy, “Wanna play sticks and talk?” “You had me at ‘Wanna’, girl.” Poppy replied, sticking out her fingers, as we engaged in an intense tournament of sticks, while talking about all of the different clothing combinations I could have. As I expected, Poppy annihilated me at sticks once again, and I didn’t win a single game. Thankfully, once Poppy and I had finished our very cathartic reminder of the good things in our life here, it was around lunch time, and we had gathered enough of a drive to actually get something to eat.

Nick mocked and I glared at him. “What’s popcorn, Aiv? Do we have to throw popcorn in the air and eat it? Will it pop in the air?” Cherry giggled. “No, Cherry. Let me explain how you play it,” I tucked my hair behind my ears and clasped my hands together. “One of us will be the popcorn and that person will have to curl up on the trampoline mat, holding his/her knees to his/her chest. Then, the other players will try to “pop the popcorn” by bouncing either on their knees or cautiously on their feet. And when the popcorn “pops” by letting go of his/her knees, the popcorn will exchange places with one of the other players. Got it, Cherry?” I explained and asked if our little sister understood t

I specifically choose the community playground because there was no way in hell I was going to meet up with him in a private place alone. I looked at the time on my phone and saw that it was almost 2 o'clock so I had like an hour to get ready and head out. There was not much to do cause I already prepared at Bianca's house, I was still wearing her clothes that she gave to me and I didn't see a need to change it so I just changed my shoes to a flat shoe to enable me move around more easily in case I needed to fight or flee anyone or anywhere easily.

I had put my hair up in a nice messy bun with gold hoop earrings that Effie had offered me to burrow. "Rawr!" Leo jumped up from behind the table and frightened me with his T-Rex mask. I giggle from cuteness. "Be careful, Leo. You might hurt yourself." "I will, Mum!" He runs off but stops to turn back to me. "Mummy! Best party ever!" Then runs away. I shake my head, smiling. I settle down a tray of new batches of blue, green, and brown cake pops on the dessert table, along with chocolate-coated rice crispy treats shaped into dinosaur eggs, goodie bags with lovely treats, and a giant dinosaur cake shaped into a T-Rex.

She hung the stars on the moon. After that, she took a brown balloon and painted the eyes. She made ears, nose, and arms. She put a powdered blue pacifier in the baby's mouth. She made the body with a powdered blue balloon. She placed the baby on the moon. Then she placed the half-moon at the front of the room. Next to the moon, she put a huge chair where Serene would sit. Then she placed the powdered blue and brown cake on the table and blue and brown cupcakes on a small table.

Crist swept into the kitchen, destroying the quiet peace of Poppy’s morning. “On it.” Poppy finished mixing the cookie dough and set it aside to grab what she needed for the cupcakes. Thirty more minutes, she told herself as she put the batter into the oven. Thirty minutes then I can get out of here. In reality it was closer to 9:30 when Poppy was able to break away. Mrs. Crist wouldn’t let her leave until the cupcakes were done and decorated. Poppy ran upstairs and took the quickest shower she could in her tiny bathroom. The water pressure was horrendous, but she made do. It would be better to have her hair up anyway, so washing and drying it would be a waste of time.

Parker noticed that the table looked exactly as it had last night, with no diapers put together yet. “You can choose what we start with,” she said. “Food, games, or decorations.” “Food should be easy, right?” Parker asked. “We’ll just grab stuff from the store, and it will be ready to go.” Ruby wrinkled her nose. “Not exactly.” The way Ruby looked at him threw up warning signals. “What do you mean?” “We need to make pink candy popcorn as well as fruit and yogurt parfaits with pink ribbon tied around the cups.” “That doesn’t sound so bad,” Parker said.

I get off the stage and head towards the ladies of the party. “What game would you guys like to start off with?” I ask. “Design the onesie” they say in unison. I chuckle as we walk over to the table with all the onesies of all different sizes. We have two bins and once you are done you put it in Alex’s or Storm’s bin. I am making two, one for each. I grab the fabric marker and place a piece of cardboard in between so it does not seep through. I write on both, and Alex and Storm look at what I wrote. They both crack up.

"Everyone is going to do a presentation. What if we have a miniature house decorated in bohemian style. We can make furniture using clay or cardboard and for the fabric, we can rip one of your bohemian scarfs or something. That could gain Mr.Payne's attention." "I think he is right." Said Mandy deep in thought. "Not you too! Are we going to play with play-doh now? Mandy, we are in college, not kindergarten." I said banging my hands on the table in exasperation. "I think we could give it a try. We will make sure to prepare the presentation well but also make a miniature house. It will gather so much attention from everyone." Kevin sided with Mandy. "Believe it or not this idea is gold," Zack

Poppy teases, reaching over to brush his hair back from his forehead. He yawns wide enough to show every little tooth, then blinks up at me. “Can I have pancakes?” “Pancakes?” I echo, feigning shock. “That’s a big request for someone who’s barely awake.” He shrugs, eyes already drooping again. “I like making them.” “Yeah,” I whisper, kissing the top of his head. “That’s reason enough, baby.” Poppy watches us, her expression soft but full of something fierce beneath it. “We’re going to be okay, aren’t we?” she asks quietly.
