"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

- Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Aurora Leigh

Gingerbread Houses

This year Grandma sent us the best Gingerbread House kit.  It had a little house for everyone to make - perfect size - and it had frosting that actually stuck the things together!  The older kids had a great time decorating their Gingerbread houses, and Spencer enjoyed eating his candy.  I tried to stick it on as quickly as possible so he couldn't shove it all in his mouth, but he didn't care about that.  He just pulled it off, took a bite, and then put it back in the frosting again.  Later in the month, while I was in the shower, he climbed up to where we kept the houses and attacked Meg's.  She was a good sport about it all.
