After baking the gingerbread a little to long they had to quickly cut the pieces out before it set hard as a rock. Really, it was hard! Because they had to cut the pieces out so fast and as they cooled they shrunk a little, it didn't quite fit together as they had hoped. They tried several times with icing but that wasn't working so Daymia's mom pulled out the glue gun. That worked.
I was very impressed with their creative decorating, especially the candy cane door frames and the dripping ice hanging from the edges. They had a good laugh at their shingle skills. Levi started on one side putting the chocolate chips close together so they were touching. Daymia started on the other side leaving a small space between the chocolate chips. The second side of the roof showed their improved teamwork skills.
The kids spent the next few days eating away at the house until it was just a frosted (and glued) shell. The lingering over-cooked smell of the gingerbread didn't tempt anyone to eat the rest of it.
