Candy houses

Kathy and I continued our annual tradition of making candy houses. This year the three neighbor girls came over to make houses as well--the more, the merrier! As usual, there was plenty of candy eating during the process, but less eating of the candy off the houses over the ensuing weeks.

Hanging out, watching the action

Kathy helping Jojo. None of the kids felt that it was necessary to have frosting cover every surface, which drove me a little nuts. Who wants a candy house with cardboard milk container showing through?!?! :)

The girls finished quickly so they could hang out with Ben

Kathy tried to construct a house just using graham crackers (rather than covering a cardboard milke container). Sadly, it fell.

Jojo's finished house and yard. He did a great job this year!
