It's time.
Time for decorating a gingerbread girl for the second grade hallway. (Each second grader received a gingerbread cutout to personalize. Mary called hers "Holiday Glam".)
Time for Electric Bethlehem. (As ever, our house is the least decorated on the block. But I'm okay with that.)
Time for family rooms to be finished. (I think the paint color may work out okay after all, now that the new curtains are up.)
Time for Gingerbread House Wars. (It started out with the store bought kit, but Maggie's beau wanted to be able to eat it, which, no, those kits are NOT for eating. So I pulled out stuff for him to make his own. And the smack talk began.)
Maggie's beau used scissors to cut the gable ends of his house. There were several failures before he was successful. He made a beeeellion crumbs. |
Maggie and her friend "Notorious." They were serious about their house. |
They were slamming each other and trying to steal each other's decorations. |
Notorious and The Beau tried to look like they were about to brawl. This photo took several tries, as every time they looked at each other, they busted out laughing. |
Time for hellacious messes left after Gingerbread House Wars are over. (To be fair, they did clean it up pretty well. I had to wipe down the counters again, but it could have been so much worse!)
And you? What's it time for at your house?
