If you build it. . . they will eat it!

For Family Home Evening a couple weeks ago, we built a "Halloween House." It took us a good hour and a half to build it. We told the kids that they could take it down on Halloween night and eat it. Well, we were a couple days late, but they still had no problem jumping in and getting down to business. Addie even caught on. After an hour and a half of work, they demolished that house in about 5 minutes. They kept offering me pieces, "Come on Mom, it's so good!" Luckily I could use my upset stomach as an excuse- stale gingerbread and black frosting, gross!

Yes--it doesn't look too appetizing to me either. But when you are a kid, sugar is sugar no matter how stale or what color it is!!
