Halloween Gingerbread House

As we were going up and down the aisles of Wal-Mart on Saturday, Noah noticed a Decorate-Your-Own Haunted House on the shelf. We did a Gingerbread House at Christmas time and he loved it. He immediately said, "Mom, look a Halloween Gingerbread House! Can we get it?" I said sure and we put it in the buggy. Tonight we decorated it. It was a little more work because you had to mix the icing, but Noah was very patient. He enjoyed a few gumdrops while I was mixing it up. That's so rare for him because he hardly ever eats candy with the exception of M&M's. He just doesn't have much of a sweet tooth. I spread most of the icing with a little help from Noah. He did almost all of the decorating on his own. We had a blast! He's really concentrating in this first pic...

After he noticed I was taking pictures, he decided to try

and remember to smile while decorating.

Noah's goofy smile - whenever I say for him to smile he always

squnits his eyes. He's such a mess!
