Our gingerbread house activity was a little strange this year. Travis and Tyrel wanted to make their houses so they could eat them and Trevin has 2 teachers so he had to make two houses (he doesn't get to eat one). I had some leftover dough, so while we constructed the houses, we had Sean roll out the dough and then Travis and Tyrel cut into cookies and baked. 
They put them in the oven and didn't set the timer until a few minutes later. I didn't pay attention and they had set it for the full time after they had already been in there for 3 or 4 minutes. So, needless to say, our cookies were a little overbaked. 
They insisted they were not burnt and tried them, we had boys spitting and spewing and looking for a sink and some thing to drink. It was kind of funny!
Didn't he do a great job? This is Mrs. McKee with her house.
This is Mrs. Turner and her house. I went to high school with her and her husband and all three of my boys have had her as a 4th grade teacher. She was so excited to get her house because she has kept the houses the other boys made and she said her kids have picked most of the candy off of them, so she was excited for a new pretty house.
