Christmas Train

I wanted to get the boys into the Christmas Spirit today. So we picked up one of those gingerbread house/train kits at the store and brought it home. I expected the boys to eat most of the candy before I could get it together and to be constantly putting their fingers in it, but y were surprisingly reserved. Trey was absolutely delighted everytime a wall went up or new set of decoration went on. He also kept Smith back, barking "don't touch it, don't touch it" or "soft, it's wiggly" when Smith would go for it. They were even willingly posed for a picture when it was done. That never happens!


When I said "Okay, it's done" Trey got excited and said "We eat it now? It's just food!" Uh, no, it's not that kind of food. I held them off for tonight so we can show it to Daddy when he comes home, but I don't think it will last long after that.

It's definitely not meant to be eaten, the candies are pretty bad and the frosting has no sugar in it, tastes like glue. For all I know it could really be glue. But Smith will eat anything :)
