Today

The weather outside was frightful; being at home was so delightful;

And since we had no place to go, we built a candy house for show!

Hallelujah, school is {finally} out for Christmas break! We are a happy, happy crew.

After lunch today we got the carols spinning on the hi-fi. To celebrate this morning's official dismissal from academics I pulled out the gingerbread house kit that I bought on clearance at Ikea after last Christmas.

With all the goody bags the boys have brought home lately you can be sure I didn't buy any candy for the project. Of course, they ate some sweets while they worked but most of it they happily contributed to construction. I think our dentist would approve.
