Gingerbread Boys

The finished project

Mitchell and Connor with their Gingerbread men!










We have been stranded in our home for the past two days, and the kids and I are definetly ready to get out of this home. To help pass our time we have been busy making Gingerbread boys, playing in the snow both inside and out, making Christmas ornaments and building train tracks! Even though we have been keeping busy, the kids are getting alittle bored at times. Mitchell told me that he was ready for the real Christmas and was tired of doing doing all the Christmas Eve things. I got a good laugh out of that. We tried to build a snowman on Tuesday morning, but before we got to far, the dog stepped on it. Mitchell has quite an imagination. When we were outside Mitchell wanted to "Combine" (imagine that) the snow. He did this by shuffeling his feet to make the rows and went back and forth like a combine. He even put his hands pointed out so that was the combine head. Looks like we don't need to by him any snow toys or sleds b/c he is pretty content playing combine!

I took some pictures of the kids of the kids making Gingerbread boys and eating them! They turned out Ok, now I have to frost them yet. Enjoy your day snuggling indoors!
