My family has always done gingerbread houses around Christmas time so I had this great idea to make a Halloween house (not a scary haunted house, c'mon, Haylee's only 3 years old) with Haylee. All the prep work took a little longer than I anticipated so Haylee only got to do a little bit of the decorating before bed and I felt bad doing the rest without her but it was one of those nights when we both needed her to go to bed and I really needed to finish asap before my royal icing turned into royal cement...
It was worth it though. I was rewarded in the morning with plenty of oohs and ahhs and wows and "thanks for making this house for me mom!" oh, and several "can I eat it nows?" thrown here and there too.
It took more time than I planned but it really was a lot of fun. I recommend this project to anyone, with or without kids.

That is adorable Julie! Did you make the gingerbread too? I don't think I've ever made a successful gingerbread house so I'm extra impressed with your skillz.
So, when does Haylee get to eat it? :)
NICE! It looks great. Isn't it funny how we go to so much trouble to make a fun activity like this for them, and they are just as happy to skip the process and see the end result?
Very, very cool!! You've always been so creative!
