If you're a dyed-in-the-wool make your own gingerbread kind of person, don't read any farther,lol. Because we take the easier road and make ours with graham crackers instead. I started going this route a couple years ago when I needed an activity for 30 kids... that would be a lot of gingerbread. This is really great if you have little ones, it's easier for them to work with. Either way, it's messy, messy, messy. But it's all a part of the fun:) If you want detailed instructions, here's a link.
Here is the Princess's Kingdom (her words, not mine).
The Professor was intent on having a village.
The Artist stuck to your basic little house with some nice accents.
And that ends our parade of gingerbread homes;)Technically, we could take another snow day today since all three local schools have called off. But I want to get all our book reports and other projects done before Christmas break (only 3 more days!).
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, it's off to school we go...:)

That looks like so much fun! Your kids are so cute. I hope I'm a fun mom when I have kids.
Wow...you really make me feel lazy sometimes! Where do you find the time (and the inspiration)?!
I'm so impressed.
What a wonderful array of homes. It's cool how each of the kids' personalities shine through their creations!
ANGELA: I think you will be Angela. You and Dustin seem to be a fun-loving pair. Think of all that Baggy/Zipper love and attention going to a kid instead. When the right time comes of course:)
KAYE: Before you make me heady with acclimations, remember I'm at home the majority of the time. It would be much more difficult if I worked outside the house. And I wish I could do more with them than I do. I have to deliberately take my focus off all the house stuff (which is easier said than done).
That looks like so much fun! And what a great idea to use graham crackers instead of gingerbread. And instead of using those expensive kits! I bet Sarah Beth will be read for that next year. What fun!!
We plan to make gingerbread men tonight.
