Kids should not receive a full 2 weeks (and 3 weekends!) off school for Christmas break, I'm just saying.
The completed Gingerbread House:
So it looks nothing like the one on the box. There's no windows, no doors, no fancy icing decorations. Mostly because the kids attacked after I iced the roof and wouldn't let me get near the house with a piping bag. Or maybe because I lost the other bag of icing mix. Whichever. Zach was in charge of gumdrops so there's a tiny bit of order with those. Em and Ally kept sticking 4lb candies on the walls of the house (even though I told them a hundred times the candy would fall off and they did) so that's why there are white blotches on the sides. Kyle and Kelly just ate their candy and stuck their fingers in the icing. *sigh*
It's done so now they can stop asking me every five seconds "When are we going to decorate the gingerbread house?" and focus on "When can we play with Play-Doh, when can we go outside and play in the snow, when can we have our 5 billion piece Barbie playsets, when are you changing the gerbil's litter?" (The last one is Zach. Don't ask, I have no clue.)
Happy Hump Day! (119 hours and 5 minutes until they go back to school...)
