You can’t catch me I’m the Gingerbread Man

Elise decided she wanted to bring reindeer puddings and gingerbread men for her preschool snack. At night Kent made a few batches of gingerbread men (Stub Toe Joe cookies – a mild type of cookie similar to gingerbread) with the girls.

Mama promised the girls she would put the gingerbread men away as soon as they were done cooling because we had read a story about ginger bread men running away. But Mama forgot to put three of them away before bed, two gingerbread men and a small gingerbread bear; she accidentally left them out!! Uh oh!

The next morning Mama said, "Girls, did you eat your gingerbread men I left you on the table?" The girls said, "No, mama, we didn't." Mama said, "Then where are they?" Then we spotted a note on the table....



We ran to the raisin container and we only saw this.


Oh no! We ran to the doll bed and only found this and a few raisins.


We ran to the Christmas tree and up in one of the branches we found this. Darn they got away again! 



We ran to the scale and found this.



But don't you worry we finally caught those little running men in the drawer that holds the girls tea party stuff. They were getting ready for a party with raisins and tea party set. The girls ate those little cookies up as fast as they could so they could not get away again!

  1. I love this. It reminds me of a little scavenger hunt I went on one morning while we lived at Alta. You are so creative :)
