Spooky Gingerbread House 2025

Tonight we spent a good bit of time working on this year's SPOOKY GINGERBREAD HOUSE!  We've been doing this since 2015,  so this is sort of the tenth anniversary edition.  Mom ordered this kit online, and had it all set up for us to do.  We popped in the movie "Ghostbusters" and got to work, Maddie on two sides and me on the other two sides.  We each did a side of the roof there, using Booberry cereal.  Maddie decided to make a face on her side, a real Monster House, while I did just a lot of different patterns and so on.  We had a lot of candy corn and pumpkins there tonight, and oh boy, I'm paying for it now.  But it was fun as always, and the end result turned out great!

The rest of the day was work at the office and college for Maddie - she was back there after a day off because of the coughing.  She had a good day at school, and we were getting some things done at KidPak towards this weekend, and a little bit towards December even.  

This morning I was up early and got a good ways in on the Corpse Bride pathway there, even getting a post card for my efforts, another advancement in the story.  Moving right along there!  It'll be closer to Halloween when I finish that marathon.

Maddie is feeling a bit better, coughing less and doing fine.  She was doing some homework and reflection when we got home.  The weather was cool and rainy out there, and September is going out with really pleasant temperatures.  I'll say that for September.  Used to be one of my least favorite months, of course, mainly because school started then and I hated school.  But this September was packed with fun - it's been a good one!

We closed up the day with reading, and with saying our prayers.  And getting a nice sleep as a heavy rain poured down outside.
