gingerbread and dragons

Take a ginger santa,


eat his face,




an arm,


bust him in half on the table edge,


a few more bites,
then try to rebuild him- fail,
keep eating until your drool runs red


done.


Now, dress as a dragon,
one on a sugar high,
with Santa bits and drool on your face 
as evidence
of your dragon-y ways


run about town,


climb mountains,


laugh in the face of danger...or your mama...whichever,


tumble about on glaciers,


pull loads of imaginary "catch dragon stuff mama",


return home 2 hours later 
pleased that your mission is complete...


Then, like all good dragons, nap for 3 hours.

Ummmm... I think I may have mentioned this to you before, but I am really not feeling comfortable with how quickly Ben is growing up :) He is looking so big!

Way to slay those dragons Ben!
