Goofy Gingerbread

"Ummmm, excuse me? Is that gingerbread on your lip?"

Inspired by the local gingerbread house fundraiser back blip, Andrew and I wanted to craft our own. It is much harder than I thought it was going to be. We had many goofs tonight; not enough dough, sticky dough, sliding dough, breaking baked dough. Andrew, who has not learned the art of creative adjustment, threw his hands up in the air and decided that munching on the side of the house would be the best way to remedy his sadness over lost expectations.

I got a grin out of him...with a crumb of gingerbread on his lip. Reminding us that sometimes mistakes are sweet.

(I miss the catch lights in his eyes...but no room for a reflector in our kitchen)
