that's right. while the combination of jodi's creativity and my brains has made for fantastic results in the past.... this monday they didn't do so well. We built what must be the worst, crappiest gingerbread house ever. I, of course as a Materials Engineer blame it on the poor building materials. You see, there's very little structural integrity to graham crackers and the gooey frosting "cement" couldn't stick anything! Besides, Jodi, with the graham cracking splitting division, kept handing me broken graham crackers. Excuses... excuses... It went from being the pentagon, to a beast house, to a corpse face (complete with a worm crawling out the eye) and finally to the sad state that it's currently in.
As crappy as it was, it does happen to bear an uncanny resemblance to the muppet Beaker. So I count it a success.
Is that a beach made out of purple nerds you ask? yes. courtesy of jodi's imagination. Is that orange hair actually a shaved carrot you ask? yes. courtesy of our fridge's vegetable drawer.
I like the term "beast house". I give it two thumbs up simply because it's nothing like the norm.
ReplyDeleteYears and years ago before I realized I was into design, I created a very contemporary gingerbread house that had all the functions, looks and aesthetics that i'd love to have in a home today. Then I lit it on fire. Maybe that's why I don't own a house that looks and feels like my gingerbread house.
You guys make me laugh! The likeness is uncanny!
ReplyDeleteWow. That is so much worse than I could have imagined. Did you ever see pictures of my "halloween gingerbread house" that ended up looking more like a really beat up outhouse? I gave up on ever trying gingerbread again after that fateful day.
ReplyDeleteoh my word, this totally just made my day.
ReplyDeleteI love love love it.
ba hahaha!
Well, I mean this in the most sincere sister way possible, this is dreadful!I mean, come on, after Tay's transformer costume and Jodi's amazing artistic ability.....this is just way under par kids!
