I sometimes get a crappy attitude around the Holidays and I don't really mean to, it just seems like there is so much to do and not enough time to get it all done. Maybe that is why people try to creep Christmas up into Halloween. I don't know! I really need to try and remember that my kids don't really care how many batches of fudge get done, or if the house looks like a the cover of a Martha Stewart magazine, or if the lights on the house would win a neighborhood contest. All they care about is if the decorations are out, if we have lights on the roof (even if it is just ONE strand!) and if they have a happy mom! I really need to work on the last one.
After we built gingerbread houses last year the kids begged me to let them make them again. This was not one of my favorite things to do, but in the spirit of being HAPPY I let them. This year for sure we bought Sarah her very own. She had so much fun adding candy to her house.
Those are pretty good lookin gingerbread houses!!!!
