Can we eat it yet?

On Saturday some friends of ours brought over two kits for building gingerbread houses - one for each "big kid."  It turns out that James is a big fan of gum drops (who knew?) and of course Madeleine would eat all of the frosting if I let her.  Both kids agree that the peppermints are "too spicy" and it turns out they do not like red fondant (it was supposed to be the front door).  Despite their eating quite a bit of frosting and candy decorations, both kids ended up with a pretty darn good looking gingerbread house.
