i had so many fun things planned. i have been stocking up on paint, glitter, glue sticks, markers, and construction paper for weeks {ok, maybe not that long} in preparation for this week. my kitchen table has a stack of baking chocolate, powdered sugar and sprinkles just begging to be used. i had caught up on all of my laundry and household chores so that i could just 'enjoy the season' this week.
well... like many other times in life, things did not go as planned. the hubbs came down with a nasty cold last weekend. i so didn't want to get it... but on tuesday afternoon i started feeling an itch in my chest and by wednesday morning, i was rendered useless. ugh. jeff's truck 'took it's last breath' on wednesday night. sad, but true. brady woke up friday morning with a nasty cough and has now gone hoarse. {it's precious to hear him talk with such a soft voice though}.
needless to say, we did not get get much crafting done. nor baking. nor shopping. nor did we have much 'christmas fun' like i had hoped this week. oh well, there's always next week.
SO......
in an effort to do something christamsy this week, i was determined that i would be brave enough to make a gingerbread house with the bug. man, did we have fun. i was prepared for a huge mess in the kitchen, but it wasn't too bad. he pretty much caught on halfway through.... but he definitely put EVERY piece of candy in his mouth before putting it on the house. so cute. i'm surprised he's asleep with all of the sugar he ate. hehe.
the gumdrops were his favorite.
we ended up with twizzlers all over the 'yard'.
sticky hands.
brady did the entire back of the house.{i did the roof... before i gave up on trying to have it look pretty}
