Kid Tested Gingerbread House

IMG_0925

I was brave and took all three kids with me to the grocery store a few weeks ago.  I wasn’t thinking clearly that day…

Sometimes I forget how much work it is to take all of them anywhere by myself.

As soon as we walked into the store there was a big display of the gingerbread house kits.  Thank you very much grocery store!!!

All of them wanted their own of course and started arguing over which one to get.  I think there were maybe three different ones to choose from.  Mommy told them they could only get one.  I had to do a little creative persuasion to convince them to go with the mini village kit.  Each kid could then make their own mini house.  Plus I didn’t want three big half eaten gingerbread houses sitting on my dinning room table for the rest of the month.

The kit had 5 mini houses, frosting, sprinkles, and 3 bags of different candies to decorate the houses with.

Daddy had to get in and help a little bit too.

 He loves to help her with this kind of stuff.

My silly kid always has to show off.

Even the oldest kid had a great time creating his own mini gingerbread house with the family.  It was fun for the kids and I didn’t have to bake any gingerbread.

Family Fun!

It’s been a week and I have 5 half eaten mini gingerbread houses sitting on my dinning room table.  Sprinkles all over my table runner and every time I turn around that little drama queen is snacking on one of them making a bigger mess for me.
