The Ginger House

Jed calls our gingerbread house a Ginger House!

Tonight we decided to finally assemble and decorate the kit we bought weeks ago. Jed was a good helper but he didn't really grasp the concept of putting the candy and cookies on the box when he could just eat them instead. It was really cute when he would sneak bites after we told him enough.

Matt was raised Jewish so he never really did things like this over the holidays. I gotta say, 90% of the decorating is all Matt. Boy, did he have fun! He made a Swedish Fish walkway, a Skittles swimming pool, a hair topped gingerbread man, and a candy corn hedge among other things. Matt is learning how much fun the holidays can be!

Thumbo

I secretly LOVE that Zooey sucks her thumb and here's why. Well, it's not so much of a secret.

Jed uses a pacifier. This has good and bad points but all in all it's a pain in the ass when you left it in the car and your baby is screaming in the grocery store. You can't leave a thumb in the car.

When Jed was learning how to self soothe at night, the Nuk was a big help except when it was an inch away from his head and he couldn't get it back in his mouth. Good thing your thumb is attached to your arm!

There's nothing cuter than a tiny baby sucking her thumb. It's just so freakin' cute.

You can't drop your thumb on the ground and get all dog-hairy.

A little bully can't come over and steal your thumb outta your mouth.

You can't lose your thumb between the couch cushions or car seats.

Your dog can't run off with your thumb.

Your parents get to call you names like "Thumbo".

Who else would buy me an 11 dollar box of cookies ?

Heaven in a box.

When I ask him to order me 3 of my favorite lip balms...

He orders 5 instead.
