Haunted House

My friend Tina (THANKS TINA!!) gave me a haunted gingerbread house kit for my birthday and today the girls and I decided to tackle it. We made a house at Christmas, too, but it wasn't nearly as well decorated since Hannah ate most of the candy. This time she tried, but Lizzie was the candy police and kept telling her to stop eating the decorations. The house came out pretty well, and they actually did most of the decorating, with me sort of guiding them. Here are some pictures from the creating.

Lizzie worked on painting the roof with orange icing. She was very methodical about it:

Hannah puts some candy on the front of the gingerbread house:

Here's the front of the house. The ghost was a piece of candy, but we designed the rest of the house.

The right side of the house was supposed to have a pumpkin garden made with the orange jelly beans but Hannah ate them all, so now it's a rotting pumpkin garden:
Here's the back of the house. Don't be scared Aunt Tina ... it's not a real spider. I don't know what kind of flowers are growing at the back of the house, but Hannah and Liz thought they were scary:
Here's the other side of the house. This is a spider web that caught some candy as it was blowing through the air:

Here the girls are with the finished product. Should they eat it?...

Or pose with it:
