Making a gingerbread train...

This year was our first attempt at creating a Gingerbread structure of any kind! I found a gingerbread train kit while I was out shopping and because the boys seem to love anything and everything trains I snatched it up.  This was the right choice!  There was much choo chooing and chugga chuggas going around the table!!

It was a little chaotic getting the assembly started...but we got it going. Daddy to the rescue. Thanks Jer for your ability to read and interpret instructions. I'm visual and the pictures only served to confuse me!

Owen helped squeeze the icing...and put together the big parts.

We snacked on some of our decorations while we built. That's half the fun right??

Cooper abandon the whole project about half way through. All Done Momma he said. I think he was really thinking...this is BORING. I'm gonna go get a train I can actually play with. Which is just what he did!

I suspect that it would take lots and lots of practice to create something quite as perfect as the picture showed...but our's was perfectly us :) And that's the best part!!

Here's to trying fun new things with the boys...and making a random Monday night, fun and exciting!
