I was looking for new ways to entertain my 3 year since Daddy has had to travel the past few days. I was visiting a friend's blog and saw the cutest Halloween cookie house and knew that would be a fun, messy project to work on together.
I load up the kids and headed to Michael's. We find the house (don't worry we won't make ours scary:-)

Yeah! I quickly scan the front of the box and am delighted to read the following:

My 3 year old is now announcing to the store that this will be his birthday cake (not sure why since his birthday is in July) and my almost one year old is now way past his nap and deciding he's not gonna be nice about it anymore so I make a quick beeline to the checkout to get back home before we make more of a spectacle.
We get home and I start reading the directions and look on the side and find the following (read below the bullet points):

I actually don't have confectioners' sugar in the house. I'm just not a sweet maker. I now have no way to get to the store until my baby gets up from his nap and my naptime filler for Grant is now not possible since I don't have all the things necessary to get it done... Is this legal?? Its at least confusing. I plan to call Wilton tomorrow and let them know I'm not happy with their advertising. Who knows, maybe I'll get a coupon out of it;-)

Yeah. That's a bit misleading. I'm interested to hear what they say when you call.
Sorry....I'm giggling since I've done the exact same thing, only it was a gingerbread train and Carter was 4. I remember the disappointment when we had to make yet another trip to the store to get the additional materials. Several hours later, I still couldn't get the train to remain vertical. Frustrated, we just ate the gingerbread cookies and candy. Carter remembers this nearly 5 years later every single time he sees a similar kit and reminds me how I couldn't assemble the train. I am not super mom.
