When the "rules" for our home school support group Gingerbread House Contest were read, I knew I had a decision to make. Let all four of our kids work together on one house and put them in H's age group (it's based on the age of the oldest student) OR let them each make their own. Well, it's not as much fun to work alone on a project such as these, so I started looking for some fellow Lighthouse members who had kids the "right" ages. Thankfully, I didn't have to look very far.
After co-op yesterday, Alexa and Ian came home with us to bake the gingerbread houses. They had to leave at dinner time but the dough was made and I just finished up the baking. The pieces were left to cool and harden overnight.
Today, they came back to spend the day and decorate. The assembling took a little longer than I had anticipated so there wasn't much decorating done today. Their calendars were not too full for tomorrow afternoon so they still have time to finish!

The girls gave every decision some time to consider all the options. The boys, well, let's just say they ate alot of candy! :)
