Christmas Eve

One of the much anticipated events of Christmas Eve for everyone was that the ladies took off to get their toes done, while the men were to eat hot dogs and do man stuff.  Well the ladies took all the cars, so we decided to punt and order pizza in.  The "man stuff" was watching Phineas and Ferb then decorating a gingerbread house.  I decided to go ahead and "glue" it all together while the boys watched TV, thinking that extra set up time would be a good thing.

So after I was done, I joined them in the living room and let them know that the house was up and needed to rest for a few minutes.  About 15 minutes later I had a conversation with Rowan that went like this:

Rowan:  "(something, something) ginderbed housh (something, something)"
Me:  "Yeah, the gingerbread house is in the kitchen, resting."
Rowan:  "(something, something) touched it (something, something) fell down"
Me:  "Uh-huh"
*audible clicking sound as the light bulb went off in my head*
Me:  "You touched the gingerbread house and it fell down?!?!?!?!"
Rowan:  "yesh!"

Aaaaahhhhhh!  It looked like something out of Tom and Jerry when we went in the kitchen, where everything was folded on itself and the roof laying on top.  Thankfully those premade kits are pretty sturdy and Daddy Mac, Reid and I had it back together in no time.  Below is the finished product.
