Ginger Bread House with a Twist

Our first experience building a ginger bread house went pretty well. We learned to wait for the sides of the house to dry before placing the roof on. I learned that next time I need to make sure I keep a closer eye on Keena as she decorates so candy does not go missing. I told Keena, "quit putting the candy in your mouth." She says, "mom, I'm just making sure it's all cleaned off." We did have to take a short intermission. Keena for some reason thought maybe if I hide the candy UP my nose mom won't detect the scent from my breath. Ya, you heard me right. She put a piece of candy up her nose and it got stuck. I did not panic even after we did everything to my thinking to get it out. As she blew her nose over and over all we could see was purple running down her nose. Ok, so it's up there...and good. Finally I told her that it will disolve, melt was my word for her and you'll be fine. It was not hurting her or blocking her air passage. Then Ham walks through the door and I tell him the story. He's a bit surprised. I told him we can't get it out and he says, did you have her close one nastral and then blow. Duh!! I didn't even think of that. What would I do without you Ham. We proceeded with Hams suggestion and out came the candy in little pieces. We then got back to work and learned a lesson that candy does not belong up your nose.
The finished masterpiece! However, with stolen candy off the tree in front...see that? Great job Keena. What a delicious looking house. Great for our table decor for Christmas, right?....or not..Hurricaine KEENA, BRAYA, MILES, AND ADELLA hit. :) Well, we can't plan for natural disasters. They just sneak up on you and BAM, it's gone. I give this damage a 10 rating. I kid, I kid- we were happy to send Braya, Miles, and Adella home with sugar highs. It's all good! It's also made a funny story.
