Most of the kids' teeth have fallen out and they've stopped climbing the walls. The massive doses of sugar should be out of their blood stream by Valentine's Day or at the very latest, Easter.
Here are a few pics.
First I draw a rectangle on the plate with the frosting to stand the crackers up in. This also keeps the house from sliding off the plate when it's picked up. Then I stand one long and one short cracker up and glue the ends together. The last two walls are attached.
The frosting holding the walls together has to dry for about a half-hour before the roof goes on or the walls will collapse. Then a line of frosting on the tops of the two long walls and the roof can go on.
Most of the roofs are a little uneven, but it doesn't seem to bring down the value of the house. lol
The kids put their own frosting in the spots where they want the candy, if they're old enough. The smaller tykes just point to where they want me to put the frosting.
After they put two pieces of candy on the house, one has to go in their mouth. It's a federal law or a law of nature, or something like that.
All done!
(to be cont'd...)
