I turned the key over.
Nothing.
I wasn't surprised. Someone (*cough* me) left the dome light on for several hours yesterday.
We got unbuckled, went back inside, took off our coats and our shoes. Not a very sweet predicament to be in, missing a field trip and all.
So we turned our missed outing into our own sweet field trip. We got out the gingerbread house kit we purchased yesterday, and contruction began.
Sweet, precious children hard at work.
Sweet little fingers placing candy atop the icing roof.
Mischeivous little ones sneaking sweet treats, though I could never catch them in the act.
And, in the end, a sweet house!

We really enjoy decorating the gingerbread houses each year. I stumbled upon a pack of 8 (small) people we still have to decorate.
It will probably fall under one of our "12 days" - if we get really adventurous, we might bake some ourselves instead of using the rock-hard store bought ones. :-)
Glad you were able to turn your day into something fun and sweet. :-)
Such SWEET pictures of the kids! Love those holiday traditions. We always made gingerbread men when the kids were growing up. It tickled me when Daniel told me last week that he made gingerbread men for the students at his school and each one decorated their own for dessert at their Christmas lunch.
I truly believe that there are no "accidents". You were meant to have this time with your lovely children. What a wonderful way to spend the afternoon!
What a bummer to miss the field trip but you definitely made up for it. Plus quality time!
Love the photos!
It's great that you were able to create a fun activity out of the missed field trip. I'm sure that made them very happy. They did a great job on the house!
Um... I'm jealous. I want to make a gingerbread house, but my kiddos (believe it or not) hate doing them. Weirdos, lol!
Sweet, indeed! All of these delicious posts are make me hungry!
Very sweet indeed.
I love how creative gingerbread houses inspire us (kids and adults) to be. I like to do one for the adults and the kids get to do their own. Always INTERESTING!
Aw, these are sweet. Your gingerbread house came out great. Glad you could turn your day into something good.
I love all the color!!! ♥
I'm so sorry you didn't get to go on the field trip--is your car better now?
It was wonderful that you had a gingerbread house kit at home! It looks like it was a lovely time. :)
awesomeness!! - which reminds me - I TOTALLY need to get a gingerbread house!!
Love your color!
I've been wanting to make a gingerbread house for years. Maybe it's time. You've inspired me!
