I have come down with S. A. D. D., so this post may be fragmented. No, it's not Seasonal Affective Disorder. It's Seasonal Attention Deficit Disorder. Finding it hard to maintain a train of thought.

So, the photos.

Josh playing with tinsel.

We have an Austrian pine. What do you have?
Also, several photos of a gingerbread house Susan and Sam made. Susan provided the construction materials and Sam did the assembly and decoration.

This is was for a classmate's birthday party a week ago. The friend's mother bought gingerbread houses as a group activity. They weren't safe for someone with a peanut allergy, so Susan made one ahead of time for Sam to use. As you can see, it worked splendidly.


As is usually the case, the cake was also not Sam-safe. So Susan made and brought a cupcake for Sam. Turned out to be a good thing, since the chocolate cupcakes the friend's mom bought had chili powder in them. Yes, they were meant to be gourmet, and in the spirit of some spicy mole sauces, they were zippy. It's unclear why the bakery cashier didn't mention this when told they were for a birthday party.

Happily, Sam's just tasted like chocolate. :-)
