Gingerbread House

I have always wanted to try building a gingerbread house. This winter I have been trying to find activities for Dane to do inside. He gets bored so easily and he was so used to being outside all the time when the weather was warmer. The gingerbread house kit...best $9.99 I ever spent. Dane never does anything for longer than about 7 minutes, unless it's running laps and he spent a full hour putting together the gingerbread house. Part of the appeal was that he was eating the candy and the icing, but he was pretty into the decorating part as well. So...while Kale napped, Dane & I created a masterpiece (or at least a decorated gingerbread house that didn't fall down).

and on a side note....the counter is a landing strip for EVERYTHING and you get to see first hand how messy it gets. That is the only part of the house I allow to get a bit cluttered but it's pushing my limit at this point.
