gingerbread debacle of 2012...

found this cute little gingerbread kit at the wal-marts...looked easy enough...and it was.  you two had so much fun putting candy on the train and into your mouths...mostly into your mouths...
 

 
kept you occupied for a good hour.  you had fun and i had a whole hour of no fighting between the pair of you...

 
so what's the debacle, you wonder???  jackson, you have a habit of getting into the food before coming to tell mommy that you're awake...so i knew i had to hide the gingerbread train or there would be nothing left of it...so i put it into the oven...to keep it out of your realm of noticing...and that worked for about three days...until i forgot that i put it in the oven and turned on the oven to pre-heat...and we started smelling an awful smell...burning plastic and at the same time sickeningly sweet...yep, i burned that train...melted it and just about ruined the oven...just about set the house on fire.  it took me three days to clean the oven.  not even kidding.  i think gingerbread houses are a tradition we just might skip.
