TRIVIA TODAY – Monday, December 7, 2009

Greetings Infomaniacs,

Yesterday I did something that I have never done before in
my life – I made a Gingerbread house! My cousins and I
decided it would be a fun activity to do with their kids,
so we picked up a few pre-made kits thinking this would save
us some work. Haha!

It ended up taking all afternoon to put these things together,
especially because you have to let them sit in between icing
pieces together. Needless to say, the kids quickly lost
interest and only cared if they were going to get some candy
out of the deal! Next time I think we’ll stick to a simpler
project…

Enjoy!
Melissa
