The Gingerbread Man Who Didn't Get Away

I got one thing done today that I have been planning for a while, but I never found time for it.  Connor is the grandchild who loves to cook.  So, when he and Chase came over and plopped in front of the TV, I said, "Who wants to make a gingerbread man?" 
The picture is blurry because these guys were being silly.
Connor jumped up and ran into the kitchen and said, "I do!"  I let him melt the stick of butter in the microwave, pour the ingredients into the mixing bowl and turn on the mixer.  The only time I messed up was, I cracked the egg and added it to the bowl so quickly that Connor's, "Let me do that" came too late.  I also forgot to take pictures while he was making the gingerbread man.
 
But just after he and Chase finished decorating him and were headed for the door, I stopped them and said "Let's take a picture."  So this gingerbread man did not get away.

My sister, Debbie, a teacher and a grandmother of 12, often cooks with her brood.  You might want to check out her blog @ http://debbiesknowledgetrain.blogspot.com/2011/04/i-love-my-mama-evans.html
