Whose child is this?

Jack woke up this morning with the idea that we are going to make gingerbread houses today. I have tried excuses-we don't have any gingerbread. Jack's response-we will use graham crackers! I have tried distraction-want to watch a movie Jack? I have tried ignoring him. None of this is working.

He just raided the pantry in search of graham crackers and didn't find them. Now he is upstairs in our food storage getting them because as far as he is concerned, we are making gingerbread houses today.

So ok, I will get out some peanut butter and build him a house and let him decorate it. Jack is like this-he gets an idea in his head and will not let it go. Where did he get that trait? I have no idea! (My mom could tell you though.)

ps-He brought chocolate frosting too. He has all the details worked out.
