Abbey asked for her drink in a "party glass" one afternoon. I finally figured out she meant this plastic margarita glass, which I'm pretty sure has never been used for a margarita. I am glad that no one from church, or child protective services, showed up while she was using it.

Fit it "just so" on the pegs, then hammer with your talking "Pat" hammer from Handy Manny.


Elliott and the finished product.
