So the next day my Mom took a break and Mr.T and I went to put frosting on these 110 gingerbread houses. Mixing water with powder sugar DOES NOT make thick enough frosting to have it not slide off the house. So after I intervened with the other helpers to add cream of tarter to the mixture of MILK and powdered sugar we were on a roll. I NEVER want to Frost a gingerbread house AGAIN. o.k. I am done complaining.
We ended up with tables full of houses and lots and lots of candy and frosting. Luckily they had the canned stuff for the kids to use to decorate.
The kids had a blast. Only a handful of parents came to help thier kids. ( I am so thankful I don't have to work so that I may do all the activities with my girls) Many of #2's classmates were glad my Mom and I were there to see and help them. When you mix candy,frosting and 5 year olds things get pretty messy but they had a blast.
The end result plus a cheesy smile. The shadow is my hand I am not a professional.
***** The houses were not consumed after making....at least by my child.

Our school does it for the 1st graders and at night so a parent has to come. The kids were all still pretty sugared up though. You can check off community service for a year I think.
Girl 2 did a marvelous job! Kudo's to you, your mom and Mr. T, that is no easy task.
