I scored a gingerbread house kit at the After Halloween Sale at Wal-mart for $2. It was a chocolate cookie haunted castle kit complete with everything, no baking required, and I'd been looking at the thing for the whole season but not wanting to part with $10 for it. Dennis had, in fact, been asking for it, so I was delighted to surprise him with it today. We assembled it at Gran and Pop's house and we all had a great time doing it. He couldn't stop talking about 'building the house' and 'it's my scary house' and 'I put the bats and beads on it' and 'I build the walls, Pop, look!". I couldn't wait for him to get old enough to do this kind of thing, and I am so enjoying this kind of stuff and the coloring and puzzles and everything (he's BRILLIANT at puzzles). It was fun and messy cuteness, and I'm considering checking to see if there are more next time I'm at Wal-Mart. Fun enough to do again, for sure.
