Four Kids & Gingerbread house

Last week Heather & Phil went skiing in Colorado.  So, the boys came to stay the week with us.  We had a BLAST!  It was so fun especially because two days that week were snow days!  So, Ashton didn't have to go to school, the preschoolers didn't go to preschool and I skipped work!  We stayed home, played in the snow, made hot chocolate and had a super fun day.

When Addison saw all the beds in Jackson's room she began to melt down.  She wanted to stay in there too and have a sleepover.  Parker over heard her having concerns and spoke up "I'll stay in Addison's room".  He had a lot of tolerance for her talking and going in & out of the room.  Day two came and he was about to go to the boys room and he said "I'll give her another try".  It was so cute.  Come night three and he wanted in Jackson's room.  Luckily, Ashton stepped up and volunteered to spend the night in her room.

The Fig boys were supposed to spend the weekend with Nana & Papa.  Early in the week - for some reason- Ashton said he wanted to stay with us and not go to Nana's. Addison immediately said "I want to go to Nana's!".  So, when the weekend came the little ones went with Nana and Ashton & Jackson stayed at our house.  It was so much fun to have just two- non siblings.  We got out the Nerf guns (and had to invest in a few more) and had a great Nerf gun war.  And just had a big boy fun weekend!

Here are some pictures of our gingerbread house making.


I could NOT get them to take a good picture!  This might be the best of like 12!


Final Product!
