Gingerbread Houses

Yes I know I am still blogging roughly a month behind but isn't that the life of motherhood, always running behind. So, here we are posting our gingerbread making day. We bought kits again to see if it would work better than the Halloween ones, and these kids were MUCH better. In fact, the frosting came premade, so we didn't have to worry about the mess from that. The big kids made a princess castle (because it was harder). And the little kids made Spongebob Pineapple.
As you can see, Laycee got it all in her hair. So much for cutting down on the mess right?
We couldn't get it together, so Trent suggested that we "paint" it to come cardboard since that is what they did at school. Let me tell you... genious! However, the sides were still difficult to paint.
Laycee and Logan with their finished product. Don't they look so proud!
Haylee and Trent, dont they look so worn out! LOL theirs was really tough.
It was a really fun night and even mom enjoyed it becuase it turned out to be not as much of a disaster as last time. Next Christmas, we might try a blog vote for whose is the "best"... good think I have all year to think on that!
