Last night was gingerbread house night for the Kindergarten classes at school. The kids had a lot of fun creating their sugary castles, and showed remarkable restraint in not eating the construction materials. It is a strange kind of torture to be allowed to handle all sorts of fabulous treats but not eat them, and of course then you have the finished product to drool over for weeks afterward. Adelaide's creation is living on top of the refrigerator for now, with the excuse being that the cats might try to get it, and the reality being that a certain candy-deprived child cannot be alone with such temptation at a height easily reached. My guess is that even on the frig some of the landscaping and trim may go missing . . .
