Gingerbread House

Well, they did it. They finished the Gingerbread house and no one had to leave home and join the witness protection program. The Aunt Sue Sue (Jill) and the three grandchildren accomplished it. I really think it turned out quite well. It is now in my room so the icing can all dry and that way when the 3 year old gets home he won't be running his grubby little fingers across the roof for the icing and trying to eat the candy off of it. It has been a pretty peaceful day his Mother is off work today and sometimes that is good news and sometimes that is bad news. Good news when she is gone almost all day long and bad when she is home almost all day long. She will be here for supper tonight which can mean problems. Both of her kids do not eat well when she is at the table. So better chill a bottle of wine so I can have a glass after dinner.

Building a new house

Jill has started building a new house. She has gotten her crew to help her build this house. The only problem is that he crew is the 8 year old twins and the 9 year old sister of said twins. You might be trying to figure out what kind of house they are building. Well, then in that case I had better tell you. They are building a gingerbread house. So far the have the 4 walls and the roof together. This is better than the last gingerbread house my grandchildren attempted because on that one the roof slid off onto the table. Tomorrow they are going to attempt to finish this house. This may be where the problem will some to light. Because they have to try to cut gum drops and various other candies to decorate the house. I don't know who will go crazy first... Jill or my very technical grandson. With him everything has to be done just so and if not then he has to figure out why it wasn't done that way and was it actually done the best way. Well I guess you finally get the picture. Speaking of picture... IF it turns out well I will try to take a picture and post it on my blog in the next few days.
