Winter Days
every time i back out of our garage, i feel like i am playing luge. my car bounces off the snow walls if i don't steer super straight. it's almost impossible to see if there are pedestrians or cars coming down the street - that's how high the snow has piled up.

That's gorgeous! She sure looks proud of herself. Did you make it from scratch? I just picked up a kit at the store--that's ambitious enough for me!
well, it was sort of from scratch and sort of not. we had a box of gingerbread cookie mix someone had given us, but it was for gingerbread men. so i made a template with card stock, made sure it would stand, used the template to cut out the dough and baked it. we stayed small and simple. i made the icing from scratch and gathered all of Skye's candy stash! it actually wasn't all that hard once i figured out the template. so, i think i'll save the template for next year. but who knows? maybe next year we'll make a grand castle!! :)
i should also add that Skye pretty much decorated the gingerbread house all by herself. i put the icing in a piping bag for her and she got to work!
Wow! Sounds pretty complicated to me, but I'm the person who always ruined her art projects in elementary school. :)
Great job!
Looks good enough to eat! :-)
