2nd Grade Gingerbread Houses, 2008

typing, copying & passing out donation lists . . . . . . 25 minutes
going to the store to get items that weren't donated . . . . . . 30 minutes
cutting graham crackers into house-shapes . . . . . . 1 hour
hot-gluing the houses together . . . . . . 1.5 hours
making icing and filling it into 24 individual sandwich bags . . . . . . 1 hour
time spent complaining about stupid gingerbread houses . . . . . . 30 minutes
trying to get rid of my "stress headache" from the houses . . . . . . 40 minutes
seeing how happy my kids were to decorate the houses on the last day of school . . . . . . worth every minute!

can't wait to do it again next year! =)
