That's what my kids call a gingerbread house. I blame Shrek. Anywho. I picked up this gingerbread house kit at JoAnn's. It seemed like a good idea in theory. It was frustrating because it didn't exactly all fit together. BUT the kids did have a lot of fun decorating it. :) Just between you and me it's already in the trash and the kids haven't asked once about it.
 |
| There was a lot of tasting. |
 |
| And more tasting. |
 |
| I know your eye goes right to Kate, but look at Carson. :) |
 |
| The finished product |
 |
| It looks like Buddy and Barbie took a little joy ride in her 'vette last night:) |
 |
| I was thankful for Buddy because this morning it got the kids up in a good mood eager to find out what Buddy did last night. |
 |
| And on a Monday morning that's quite priceless! |
 |
| He's saying to me, "Mommy don't you want to stay outside with me?" Can't you just see it in his face?:) |
 |
| Don't ever think that just because you have a girl that she won't like cars and all things transportation. Kate loves them just as much as Carso. |
 |
| I LOVE this picture. Really captures JOY! |
 |
| This week end we just happened to walk into Chick Fil A to find this friendly Santa Cow. My kids were so brave. Considering the last time Kate saw Chuck E Cheese she was literally shaking. So we've come a long way in the over sized dressed up animals department. Of course, notice that I am in between them and Santa Cow. :) |
 |
| This week end Buddy the Elf made his triumphant return on our new train. I can't wait to find new and exciting ways for Buddy to show up. I say that only with 3/4 truth because let me tell you when you're laying in bed about to drift off to sleep and realize you forgot to find a new place for the little bugger to show up, Buddy kind of becomes the bane of your existence. :) |
 |
| But boy do they love it. |
 |
| This morning he was rappelling from the ceiling. Because our Buddy's cool like that. |
 |
| They thought it was great. And that's why I will continue to get up at 2 in the morning when I wake up with a start and realize he is not in a new place. |
