We have only made a gingerbread house one year. Even then I just bought a kit and we made it and the boys IMMEDIATELY ate it. Not to mention that I had a very hard time letting them do what they wanted to it. I wanted it to look nice, and they wanted it to be cool...I turned into a total control freak. Maybe that is why I let them eat it... Well this year I still wasn't all that down with the whole gingerbread house thing. I was saved when Palmer's teacher sent home a drawn gingerbread house on a piece of paper that the kids had to decorate as part of their homework. I just copied it off and we all decorated them (of course I did!) Josh was out of town and it was fun to have something to do while we were missing him.
And McKay was just cute-and got to eat some of the gummies.
I went crazy at the Winco bulk section. I bought plenty to decorate with as well as eat.
The boys had a great time decorating.
And they could do whatever they wanted without mom telling them where to put everything.
This was my version. I used all of the gross gumdrops on my house so we could save the good ones to eat...well, it turns out I bought spice gum drops and they are ALL gross!
This was Lincoln's version.
Hunter wanted to get as much candy on as possible...and then he ate it all off, glue and all.
This was Palmer's house that he turned in to his teacher. He was a little bummed that he couldn't eat all of his glue covered candy off too, so I let him eat mine.
I think we had as much fun as we did when we made our real gingerbread house (and I am sure the boys had more fun!) Maybe I will be up to it next year, we will see
