Marissa got into her Mothers make up this week and she tried everything, pretty much all at once. She focused alot around the mouth and cheeks which gave the overall look of having a 5 0'clock shadow or just a REALLY dirty face. I can't really explain the vision she had for the pink blush in her bangs. I don't know where she was going with that. Only Marissa could pull off 'cute' with all this mess on her face. She knew that she was in trouble though, so she didn't dare smile. 
In total Mom of 4 fashion we assembled and decorated our ginger bread house a month late. I don't even know how we ended up with one this year. The kids have been asking me to make it all through December. Now that we are through the holiday madness we finally have time. I suppose they should be grateful it even got done. Let's be
honest its a delayed Christmas miracle.
The beauty of a delayed gingerbread house is there is no pressure or need to make it last through Christmas so they started eating the candy off of it right away.
This is the gingerbread house one day later aaaannnnndddd then it went into the trash. I think a 24 hour life span on a gingerbread house is very reasonable. It's just one more thing you have to find a place for and try to keep the kids away from.
Luke slept 9 hours on Tuesday this week. We are all hoping to make this a habit. Probably the main reason the gingerbread house happened. I wasn't stumbling around in exhaustion all day. =0)
