Gingerbread Houses

**DISCLAIMER** Sorry about the horrible pink tinted pictures! My camera is slowly going to pot. At least you get the idea...the kids made gingerbread houses and had a ball!! :)We started on Wednesday night...we'll just quick put these houses together before bedtime...right? WRONG! We only bought 2 house kits (willy wonka ones from Costco) thinking this would be a great way for the kids to work together! That part I was right about...whew! Shawn and I each ended up taking a house and holding it together for the "glue" to dry while we sent the kids to bed. I think we sat for a good 20-30 minutes holding the houses. :) So Willy Wonka Kit...not great frosting...he may be good at chocolate and candy but his frosting making abilities are lacking!

OK....now it's Saturday and we finally have time to make the houses! The kids had so much fun...they did work great together which made me happy cuz I do not want 4 of these things sitting on my counter! They worked together to make their "plan" and then ended up just each taking a side of the house and decorating it! :) It was cute to see how each side turned out!

Kailee's side

Ty's side

Kyler's side

Austin's sideAustin put two broken banana runts on his house and said "Look it's a Longhorns' house!" :) Shawn was very proud! Then one "horn" started to fall. When it fell and there was only one horn left Kyler said, "Now it's an Aggie house!!!" It's amazing what kids listen to...he knows about the rivalry!!
