Gingerbread Houses

Saturday mornings are not the relaxing, sleeping in time of week they used to be. With both girls now taking dance class Saturday mornings, we have to be ready and out of the house by 8:00 am. That said, the building where the girls have dance also houses a lovely local bookstore, and we just happen to have about an hour to kill in between dance classes. Our routine is to head downstairs after Soren's dance class for bagels with cream cheese, juice, and coffee. The bookstore always offers Spanish/English story time on Saturday mornings; Soren just loves to play Spanish Bingo. So, here are some photos from this Saturday's bookstore adventures, which included the creation of the stickiest gingerbread houses ever.

The bookstore trains are always fun.



Soren wanted a turn with the camera.




The book this week was one of those I Spy books. I think there were too many kids, so no one could actually get close enough to find any of the hidden items.



Evie came downstairs after her dance class, so both girls got to make gingerbread houses out of graham crackers and frosting.





As we were leaving, Soren carried her house quite carefully, as carefully as a 3-year-old could, while still stealing little bites along the way. Alas, it still managed to fall on the floor, which didn't actually stop her from still eating it. Yuck.
