This year I thought I would do Christmas themed days with the kiddos. Yesterday we did Gingerbread Day. (I posted about Christmas Tree day on OC Family last week.)
I got the Gingerbread Village instead of our usual large house and I’m so glad! There were 5 lil’ houses so everybody got to do their own thing. (I got it at Jo-ann’s with a 40% off coupon)
Tip: Hot glue the houses together ahead of time. I’ve found that when you use frosting you have to hold the pieces together a LONG time before they actually stay together. As in, too long for kiddo attention spans.
Eli said he felt like “the Cake Boss,” and I thought that was hysterical.
We also watched this on you tube…
Earlier this month Cora Jane and I had a girls night out making gingerbread houses with the folks from the Taco Bell Discovery Science Center. (Is the Taco Bell thing new or have I just been on planet baby for the last few years!?!?) Check out our house. I had to release my inner perfectionist and just let her work her magic on the house…
Did you know the Discovery Science Center has an awesome exhibit right now called…
There was a fun contest with awesome prizes. You can see all the houses till January 2nd… and you know you are looking for stuff to do this week while the kiddos are home from school!
