Recycling the Gingerbread Barn

Usually my posts have been serious, but it's time to get a little humor. Richie was baptized in November and received a Gingerbread Barn from our good friends. Being the NOT so crafty mom/nana, we didn't put it together until December and it was our first one ever. Long story short, Richie got braces & couldn't eat the candy so we decided to give the birds, squirrels & any other manner of outside critter a feast by recycling the barn in the front yard. We even gave it it's own foundation!

Well, there it sat for over a week without even a nibble. We come home everyday cracking up about how nothing would even try to taste the house. Low & behold we came home & there was a squirrel diligently tasting the sugar roof. I tried to get a pic of him, but he never reshowed. Now it looks as if he's been eating the back of the barn (pics later). So if you are around our house & see squirrels or birds acting squirrelly, they're just on a sugar high from the barn. : )
