Frigid February Fun
So, what kind of inside project does one do on a Friday in cold February?
Make a gingerbread house, of course! We bought a gingerbread house kit before Christmas but didn't have the time or energy to pursue it. This was my VERY FIRST TIME to ever build a house. It was messy, fell over, but we had fun. I even invited some cousins to come over and help. The boys all enjoyed licking and decorating and tasting.
The best part for Mommy? My son had no allergic reactions. The icing and the candies were all safe for him to eat, and handling the gingerbread (which had wheat) gave no reactions.
So it was a milestone experience in more ways than one.
And it was a perfect project for this time of year...I'm thinking of buying two next year and saving one for cabin fever time!

How fun! This year when I went to the store there were no houses...just trains...we did ours during Advent. We called it the "Jolly Train." :) I am thinking of maybe getting two houses next year too...early...I learned my lesson! :)
