We spent Saturday evening making our annual gingerbread graham cracker houses and it was a good, messy time as always. Stryper, the cat, jumped in me and Jeff’s lap a few times and just sat there and licked our icing foundation away (we let him until an entire corner went missing), and Desmond (age 2) kept eating Patrick’s house. I’m sure Lily (age 3) did some silly stuff as well but I can’t remember. Lisa, Jeff and I were able to build our houses in one go but Pat and Chris’ collapsed and then were rebuilt. If you watch the time-lapse (below) and pay attention to theirs (toward the right of the frame), it’s fun seeing the houses build up and then down and then come back up again. This time-lapse thing is totally my new toy. I’m making time lapse all over the place.

I had to switch seats because Stryper kept jumping in my seat. I almost sat on him a couple times. In all fairness he was there first.
Dez must have seen what the cat was doing, because at one point he straight up licked my icing foundation and his head knocked over a wall. I’m very glad Stryper left me alone though, I’d take Dez over him any day.
p.s. I’m totally going to get on this time-lapse bandwagon and use it to track a web project from beginning to end. I wish I’d done it for a site that’s about to launch this week. Hopefully something else will come along soon.
Do it.
