What do log cabins and stalactites have in common?
Absolutely nothing except for sharing this blog post. :)
A few years ago we made a ginger bread house from scratch.
That's right, walls, roof pieces, all of it.
It was fun but I wanted something a little easier this year.
Graham crackers are easier but Connor is allergic to them.
So we decided to make a log cabin out of pretzel rods and frosting.
I'm going to spill the beans about the ones you see on Pinterest.
Most of them use milk cartons for a base and glue the rods in place.
That's cheating. I want the option of being able to eat every piece!
It was fun to make but I think next year we will go back to real gingerbread!
I'm glad we kept all of the pattern pieces!
Nolan has been studying caves and other geological wonders God has made.
One of Nolan's science experiments is to grow stalactites!
How fun!!!
It's supposed to take more than a week.
What better time to do this than Christmas break!
We'll try to remember to post more pictures as they grow.
The boys were also working on some bas-relief (baw-ree-leef) art projects.
They will paint them in a few days when they dry.
