Keepin it in the family

That title may seem wrong but it actually is a good thing. Due to the inclement weather we were stuck at home. All of us, together, for the whole weekend! We did pretty well actually, especially once Anna got the idea in her head that she wanted to make a ginger bread house. Becky and I had no experience whatsoever with that sort of thing so we improvised a bit. What we ended up making was a graham cracker house, which turned out pretty well. I didn’t do a whole lot really. I helped shape some of the pieces and helped put the roof on, other than that it was pretty much their baby!

Here, have a look:

Pretty cool huh? I think that even though we were amateurs we did a commendable job of it. It does look tasty, in a diabetic coma sort of way! Here’s an isometric view for the gamers out there:

Granted, I wouldn’t want to live there since you can’t see out the windows and I think it would leak like heck come the first good rain storm, it still has curb appeal:

You can meet the builders after the fold…

Meet the construction crew Desi, Becky, and Anna. They sure do rock:
