Well I was trying to be festive and create memories for my kids, so I had them invite friends from the niehborhood over and make ginger bread houses! It was a lot of fun. I had Madison invite her friend from down the street and she brought her sister and her sisters friend, who ended up being diabetic! I was so scrared to have her here when i saw the pump hanging out of her tummmy, i tried to very sweetly uninvite the uninvited by leaving and pretending to not be ready yet, but when I returned well they had all come back! OY! Anwyays I couldnt stall anymore so we got to it. I had gone to get my sister to help me out as always....thanks Aleah, and we got to it. It was busy and messy and tons of fun! The kids were so good and they were very creative and stuck to it till they were done. I was so proud of them, it was a great memory that they will all remember for ever.
The friend that was supposed to be invited....well her sister was invited to but it makes the story better when i tell it my way...lol
Aleahs bus and car... very creative
Omars friend....building a shack
Omar very serious.....his frosting was my first attempt and he was very patient with the hard clump that was not so cooperative.
Hope...just getting started
The friends sister
The friend of the sister....she was very good about not eating the poisoined candy!
Madison.....so proud of her creation
Devon...he was happy and had tons of fun but just wanted to look at his picture, he wont smile till he holds the camera
The group....It was tons of fun to watch and do.

You are brave! I must say that one of my favorite things to eat in the whole world is graham crackers with frosting...thanks for reminding me.
I used to do fun stuff like that for/with my kids. It just sounds exhausting now. Good for you though. I'll just steer my kids away from your blog until after you do another post about chores.
You are the coolest mom. That was gutsy. I can handle one gingerbread house that we all work on. Not 10 kids and 10 gingerbread houses. I'm glad you let the diabetic girl stay. She needs to have fun gingerbread making memories too. Big chance she doesn't get much of that.
I have to agree it was tons of fun!!! Even though it was messy!! It was awesome how it started snowing right after they finished it made a good destraction so we could start cleaning up!!
making gingerbread houses, what fun! That was a lot of kids to try to corral for such a project. You're supermom! your kids are sure getting big~ I love the pic of wini and your son kissing
Those gingerbread houses are so fun, they look delicious. They all made up a complete gingerbread neighborhood!
