Gingerbread family

"Run, run as fast as you can, You can't catch me,

I'm the Gingerbread Man!"

.

It rained again this morning, so instead of playing outside, which is what we ought to be doing in August, the Podlings and I made some gingerbread men. As we rolled out the dough and cut out the shapes, I told them the story of the Gingerbread Man, which I can recite verbatim from the Ladybird First Favourite Tales version we have. The finished products are proving popular with the Podlings, with Tom already having consumed about three gingerbread Toms and one gingerbread Lily. Lily quickly cottoned on to the size advantage of the parents and asked for a gingerbread Daddy!
