The small children and I attempted to make a gingerbread house using one of those ready-made kits on the weekend. as you can see the results were mixed:



Unfortunately because of the warm weather the icing refused to set and melted after a while. Bits of it kept sliding off until we finally gave up and ate it for dessert. It didn't taste very nice. But it looked festive for a short while and it distracted the kids for long enough so my sister could make the Christmas pudding in peace.
Mood:: 'okay' okay

It looked cute for a while, then it started to disintegrate and after that, not so cut :(

Distracting the kids is what it's all about! *gives you a hundred aunty points*

It was all about distraction. Artistic merit never stood a chance ;)

You can see the small hands holding it together while I took the photo. Once I was done the roof fell off!

We did, even if the results were not quite as expected.
