Well, David made it to his 3rd birthday, and he’s pretty excited. I’m surprised he has made it thus far without any major injuries or broken bones, and minimal black eyes. We’re not having his party until tomorrow after church, so I don’t have birthday pics to post quite yet. But my brother, Jeremy, has flown out for the occasion, and we’ve been having so much fun this weekend. He brought the kids a gingerbread house kit with a Halloween theme. Apparently, there wasn’t enough candy in the kit, so we went to Walmart to pick up a few more bags of candy. (Yes, he is a popular uncle around here…)
So as Jeremy and I started assembling the cookie house, he thought the royal icing was too thick, so added much more water than was called for. This made it so much easier to spread! Unfortunately, I think that may be why it fell apart a few minutes after we had finished putting it together, and starting to decorate.
And here is the final picture of the house. It was pretty good though, that we didn’t just sit around and stare at out beautiful creation for a few days or weeks until it got stale. We just got to dig in right away. Unfortunately, we didn’t start the project until after 5pm, so basically, when we were done at 6, the kids had no interest in supper. Poor planning, but eh, how often does Uncle Jeremy come around anyway? Who cares if we have whoppers for supper? (and not the Burger King kind!)
O, and when we were at Walmart, Jeremy picked up a remote controlled airplane, because he’s still a little boy inside. Whenever he comes to visit, it seems like he’s always buying a kite or a plane or something to fly in the air. Unfortunately, this plane crashed during the first part of its first flight. We were out of super glue, so he was attempting to fix it with Elmers. It has now dried overnight, and we’ll have to see if Jeremy’s repair job worked or not today.
Althought David likes crashing, he didn’t like the airplane’s flight to be cut so short.
