However, this year there was quite a bargain on a gift that I cannot yet mention, so I braved the Thursday night crowd. My only intended stop was Kohl's. I must say the people were amazing. Thankfully so, since I had to wait in the check out line for an hour and a half. Not a short hour and a half, but rather slightly over. I learned so many details about the lives of those around me. Kind of bizarre and fun at the same time. Oh, I did score the items in question (BONUS...for free even...excellent coupon)! Since I was already out, I decided to shop all night. I finally made it home at 1:30am.
Kevin, I, and the girls decided to make gingerbread doghouses. There were four in total and each one had a marshmallow snoopy to put on top. It seems like a simple task to me, right? Not so much. Kevin decided to start assembling before laying out all of the pieces. This SO went against my engineering brain. I just went with the flow, because it was fun. But seriously, our walls did not even meet with the roof and the roof did not really fit (because the walls were turned the wrong direction). EGADS!
Good thing I had made a cognitive decision to let it go, or we could have had a real disaster on our hands. I was talking with my sister and blaming the nonsense on the male species. She started to laugh and said that she and Kevin are so much alike. Jason and I are so much alike. She would have dove right in and Jason would have planned the whole thing out methodically. Hmm. Now we have four super cute snoopy houses and a zeal to do it all again next year. After all, we have experience now.
This was the outside temperature on our way to church this morning. Seriously cold!

That was brave! I was in town on Thanksgiving night, went to the mall, chose out a few gifts, saw the line, put the items back and went a less busy day. It was crazy!
