  2. Blow dry until the crayons start to melt
  3. Make a masterpiece

Houses Gingered

Last weekend at school. I should be studying for exams and working on papers. But my suite mate Besh and I had a genius idea.


"Let's do arts and crafts!"


After much thinking, because we really aren't that creative so it took a while to think of excitement, we decided to decorate a ginger bread house. However due to our lack of decorating skills we bought one of those kits that comes with directions. Because knowing the two of us we could easily mess up a simple thing like a gingerbread house.

I need to mention that we started building this house before we had dinner. We finished the house at 10:30, we ate dinner at 11. We were STARVING.













Obviously we have mad house building skills. Jealousy is expected.
