I was out grocery shopping when Lindsay, Ken, & I decided we needed to make graham cracker houses: Our rendition of gingerbread houses. We spent a good hour looking for the “perfect” material. We scoured multiple stores before we were satisfied with our $100+ purchase of candy. Yeah, we still have a cupboard full of candy. We also bought 3 boxes of graham crackers just to be safe. We got home, unloaded the 20 grocery bags of candy from the car and immediately started our houses. What we thought would be simple construction, turned into an 8-hour project. We used all the graham crackers so the boys had to make a side trip... TWICE. Needless to say...We had a blast with the houses!! It was the perfect project to get us in the holiday spirit! I like mine the best. :)
Our town of houses.
Ken's house. Note: Ken's pool. He also has a floor plan and a pretzel bay window not shown here! hehehe.
Arthur's house. I love his shingles, walk way, and pile of firewood.
Lindsay's house. He has a sweet car port, wreath, and bridge/walk way as shown in the picture.
My cute house! :)
My house again!
Some of the candy we bought.
Ken is concentrating hard.
Lindsay and his house.
Arthur and that doofy smile.
Crazy man Ken.
Working hard on the construction site.
