We survived what felt like a marathon week! My brother and his fiance are heading into town Fri night, so I've had lots of things to get done before they arrived, plus school and normal daily junk.
I switched work days with Jen this week so she could recoup from the AC/DC concert and not have to go to preschool the next day. My traded job was to bake a life size gingerbread kid with the kids at school. It was a intimidating, monster project, but turned out well. We made a triple batch of gingerbread dough, the kids helped with this part. We then traced the smallest kid in the class for our template. Next we rolled out the dough on one of the long tables, put the cutout of our shorty and cut it out. Then we cut it into large sections and baked it. From there my job was over.
Teacher Debbie has a story about the gingerbaby that runs away, so that was part of the fun. She took the pieces, wrapped in paper, and hid them around. Then the kids had to find it, puzzle it back together, then they made smaller pieces and the kids decorated their piece. Cody really enjoyed all this.
Other than that I've been a busy bee in my office, working on Christmas crafts for the Boise side of things, cleaning the house, and getting ready for the weekend. Should be a fun weekend and it's always nice to see family from the north!
Wish us luck, we get to have their puppy sleep over as well. But he's very used to sleeping and hanging out in his kennel, so all should be well.
