Gingerbread house & a milestone for Will!

















This weekend we had a mini-Civil War party with our friends Heidi and Ryan and their daughter Addie. While the guys watched the game, the girls made a pretty great gingerbread house. We weren't sure what Addie and Kate would think about it, but they loved it (especially the testing of the candy part). We managed to get most of the candy on the house, but Kate is still eyeing it daily, telling me "that house would be yummy in my tummy!" It's a fantastic snowy, inside day activity, though, so we might do it again--maybe with graham crackers and cream cheese to cut down a LITTLE on the sugar! :) Will wasn't so involved with the house (although he is already eyeing our food pretty carefully) but he did hit a big milestone two night's ago: moving into his own crib! The first night he woke up a few times and seemed to be looking around like "where AM I??" Last night, though, he did just fine. He fell asleep downstairs around 6 (early for him) and I fed him around 8:30. He didn't wake up and then slept until 3:30. He got up to eat and then went right back to sleep. It's almost 6:30 and he's still sleeping, so he seems to be on his normal pattern again. Both kids asleep? I'll take it anytime I can get it!

As I remember it, life begins again when they start sleeping through the night. Enjoy! Gingerbread houses are all about the candy--gooey, sticky, fun & yours is perfect.
