So we were at Target yesterday and Yesenia said “Mommy, let’s go to the bakery. There’s something there that I want that I saw with Daddy.”

“What is it?”

“You’ll see”

“No, really, what is it?”

“A gingerbread house. Daddy wouldn’t buy it for me. He said it was too expensive. But I want it.”

So what did I do? Yep. I bought it. Truth is, I wanted it, too! It was $10, but c’mon, it’s almost Xmas, kind of, and what’s more fun than decorating a gingerbread house? NOTHING! Actually, it was a new experience for me, because I let the girls just do whatever they wanted to it. I didn’t tell them where to put anything, it was all up to them. And this is how it turned out: 

 

Not terrible, really. Could have been a lot worse, actually. I put the house together and I helped put the icing where they wanted it, but they decided what kind of candy was going to go where and everything. A lot of candy never even made it onto the house - the gumdrops were the favorite. Who doesn’t love gumdrops, c’mon, now?!

And this picture has nothing to do with the gingerbread house. Ava (she’s 3, remember) grabbed the camera as I was cleaning out Suki’s ears yesterday (she has another really bad ear infection, you can see how nasty the q-tip is) and decided to take a picture of me. Well, the sheets to Yesenia’s bed were in the washer and Suki is LICKING her wax off the q-tip. Nice. This is my life.
