The Ugliest Gingerbread House Ever!

Friday on my way home from work I picked up a gingerbread house kit that I thought might be fun for Madison and I to put together. I couldn't recall ever doing this as a kid so I was excited to enjoy this "first" together with her. Let's just say we had a lot of fun and learned some tips for next year's house....

I got all of the "tools" out and started putting the house together, but as you can see, Madison was much more interested in licking the frosting off! Next time I'll put the house together first and then let her decorate!

"More frosting please!" At this point I'm starting to get concerned about a sugar overdose because it was already 7:00 and bedtime was right around the corner.... This is what the house was supposed to look like.....
.....and this is how ours turned out!!! I think most of the frosting ended up in Madie's belly and the sprinkles all over the kitchen floor. Of course Eric, being the engineer and all, said, "I wish you would've bought two kits so I could make one and we could compare." He always has to make things a contest! I told him that I have no doubt that he could put the house together better, but he would also need to try it with Madison eating all of his foundation!!! Oh well, our house might look like a shack, but at least we had fun doing it!
