Gingerbread Train

I decided to get one of those "gingerbread house kits" because I wanted to make one, but didn't want to buy 500 bags of candy/make 500 gingerbread cookies, so I did the lame mom thing and got a kit. Let me tell you, the picture on the box is IMPOSSIBLE! Even if I didn't have a 3-year-old dictating where the candy went I STILL couldn't have done it. It was so fun though, and Reid was sooooo excited. It was hilarious. He was giggling, and wouldn't even go to the bathroom until I told him I wouldn't put any pieces on until he got back. We had so much fun!

He kept trying to eat the frosting...

I think it looks stunning on our bookshelf. Great work Reid! (also, you do not need to get your eyes checked, it is really that lop-sided.)

P.S. If you are wondering why have been such an "active" blogger lately it's because I found out there is a place where they will print out and bind your blog, so I am trying to make it more like a family journal so we can keep it forever!

OK so I tried to this with Jack today...it was pathetic! I guess I have no talent in making gingerbread creations and Jack kept eating all the candy. When Ben sees it he will tease me for eternity.

Please please please tell me where you can get it printed and bound! I stopped blogging awhile ago, but it was so theraputic while I was doing it and would love to have it saved somewhere. Email me if you get the chance.
