Gingerbread Building

Last Friday I spent the morning helping Madelyn and almost forty other third graders make gingerbread houses. There was sticky frosty everywhere, and many threats verbal prompts to not eat the frosting because there was actually glue mixed in. Obviously I didn't come up with that idea because what fun is making a gingerbread house when you can't eat it. But, I guess this activity was not about me. The kids had a great time and I enjoyed helping out and catching up with other moms. I did, however, walk away once again with great appreciation for grade school teachers. They are all saints!! No way I could deal with those pesky kids, all day, every day. Yikes!
