Gingerbread house

Last weekend, we made a gingerbread house. Sort of. The kids and I picked up a kit at Target. Griff and I assembled the building and let the kids decorate.


All was going well. Sawyer was in charge of the sidewalk as he had too heavy a touch to be putting candy directly on the house.


They were good little decorators. Worked well as a team.


Even stopped to sample the candy along the way. Someone had to make sure it was the proper quality for our gingerbread house.


However, we had a structural breach and the whole house collapsed.


Not to worry. The kids continued to decorate the pieces. As a bonus, it no longer mattered how hard Sawyer pushed as he couldn't knock down the house!


In the end, we had no gingerbread house to display. But, at least we had fun!

Best friends

"Whoa...cool."


Cherry picker inside the rec center ALL the way up at the ceiling replacing the light fixtures.

Needless to say, Sawyer was not the only little person eagerly watching this project.
