Gingerbread House Anyone?

So this project has two parts. The first part began when Nanny and Papa came over to babysit. They brought a gingerbread house kit for the boys to build. Well, they put up the walls and added the roof with Nanny. Then they had to leave it to dry a bit. The next morning, they finished by adding all the "snow" and candy decorations. It took about an hour and they had a great time! It was really messy, but really fun...which is all that matters. We've had these kits in the past and started building them, but we have never completed one like this. I must say, I am very proud of the boys, despite the fact that they ate about half of the candy they were supposed to use. But that's the fun part, right?

Next came the task of shrinking the boys down so they were the size of the house. I used some household chemicals, a few laserbeams and some of that stuff out of those old Christmas lights that have the liquid in them and bubble. With a little mixing and some of Billy Joe's Elf Magic...POOF...two tiny boys appeard! I scooped 'em up and put them on their tasty creation! The results can be seen in the picture! Actually...this is a result of my 2nd bout with Photoshop. Not too bad I don't think. I hope their mommy doesn't notice I shrunk 'em! I guess I can always blame it on the d#$@ elf!
