Ethan's Valentine's Castle

At the children's school all 2nd graders have a prince/princess unit and it ends around Valentine's Day. The big project is to make and name a castle that they use to get and give valentines. We got the paper about the assignment about a month in advance, and Ethan asked if he could make his a gingerbread castle. I wasn't sure what to say, so I told him I would ask Jenn (who has made them before) if she thought it was realistic. She of course was confident we could do it so I told him yes! I have to be honest and say I regretted saying yes to this project at least 100 times during the process, but it was worth every second in the end.

It was a ton of work, but turned out awesome! He was so proud of all his hard work, and that he had the biggest, coolest castle of all!
Spray Painting is grey was a last minute decision by the castle creator.

I think I might be more amazed with this castle than the one in Kentucky! No wonder you were upset when someone tinked with it at school. Great job to Ethan and his helpers!
