This last weekend we went over to a friend's house with some other friends and built a Gingerbread house. The girls made the house while Dad supervised and Mom took pictures. Poor lil man had fought not to take a nap until the drive over. He slept in our friend's daughter's bed. My hubby went back to check on him after a while and said he was laying on his back with his eyes wide open trying to figure out where he was. He knew that his room wasn't pink or have butterflies. He wasn't in the mood for much of anything that afternoon. Lil man decided to lay low and hang out w/dad. Which was fine w/dad and the girls probably wouldn't have appreciated his help this year any ways. There were 6 families who got together and the houses looked great. A couple of the dad's were recruited to reconstruct the house that was falling apart. It was a fun afternoon spent w/good friends. Here are some pictures of the day.

A few of the families working hard on their house.
Our middle daughter was hard at work separating the candy and stealing a few in between ;)
Lil man all tuckered out asleep.
Our oldest working hard on the roof.
The girls and their finished house.
Our middle child kept asking if she could eat the house when we had finished. I told her it is for decoration. She thinks it would be much better if she got to eat it, but for now Mom has won :)

That was a lot of fun! I think they make great holiday decorations too!! However, I have a little boy that sneaks upstairs while I am doing school with his big brother...the gingerbread man is now missing and several pieces of candy are gone. Tis the season!!
