A home for the Gingerbread Man
Every year we buy one of those ready to decorate gingerbread houses and every year I say, I'll never buy that again... It's supposed to be fun, right? Some how we end up smashing, mashing, and praying it'll stay together just long enough to get a finished photo. The picture looks the same every year. Same house, same candy, same crap. All Keeli thinks about is being able to eat the thing and all I think about it what a waste of money. This thing ends up being so heavy no wonder it takes concrete like frosting to hold it together, but the frosting adds another 10 pounds to the finished product. There has to be an easier way. Lighter would be better! And to make our own would be more fun. Next year!! It's on my list of must do's... Even if it's not a whole house.. I can surly make 10 gingerbread men and buy up 10 bucks worth of cheap frosting and hard candy to have fun with. After an hour of decorating I looked over at the house and there it laid.. The walls were buckled in and the roof was caved and by now all the frosting glue was had as a rock so it was stuck looking like a sad gingerbread house that had NOT survived a tornado. I figured heck, I'll toss the piece of poo and not even worry about it. Then I thought no I won't either! That's 8 bucks! I got the ole hot glue gun out and pried all those pieces apart and rebuilt our little house. It'll do... It's been a few hours since the make over and it's still standing..
