one of halle's homeschool groups was having a gingerbread house contest. everyone took their house to put on display. most people used kits so ours was the only castle and the girls thought that was pretty cool. one house was spectacular and looked like they spent 3 weeks building it, 3 story high, with candy cane pillars. looked like the white house, the obvious winner (its a homeschool group, so there are high school kids in it too).....anyways, we left early so when we were leaving we i got the lady to give us our certificates before we left...the ones everyone get just for entering the contest, but the girls didn't see anyone else get there's yet cuz we were on our way out. i got all excited about the certificate and told the girls, look, you guys had the coolest castle so they gave you a certificate. they started freaking out and jumping up and down, thinking they had won the contest. then after a min of thinking about it, halle said, "mama, i can't believe we won, i really would of thought the one with the candy cane pillars would have won".....well, halle's not a sore loser, but i thought why not boost her self confidence.....so i said, well, there's was good, but it was no castle. halle said, yeah, thats true.
