Gingerbread House!

I was extremely lazy this year and purchased a pre-made house at the grocery store. Then we decorated it with candy we picked up. I learned a few things about doing this with two very small children.

1. Get a smaller house. Their attention span isn't long enough.

2. Nathan LOVES M&Ms! He snarfed down a few and then asked for more - again and again and again. And since the house still wasn't done, we unwisely kept giving them to him.

3. Esther loves to eat candy more than she likes to decorate with it. All day she's been asking when we can eat the gingerbread house.

4. I love to eat candy more than I like to decorate with it.

5. Nathan is not a huge fan of marshmallows unless they're covered in chocolate and throws them half eaten across the room.
