Construction woes

So last night we put shutters on the windows and made wreaths to go on the windows as well. Ethan and Jake helped me put the roof on. That is when it became evident to me that the roof was not going to work. When we calculated the size of the pattern, we forgot to take in to account that the pattern we were modifying needed a couple more inches per side because the original house had another part. We had a huge gap in the roof. I did try filling it with frosting and "shingling" over it, but it just would not hold. After school I will be mixing up another batch of gingerbread and baking another roof. I think tonight's decorating is going to be a long one as the house has to be turned in by 5 tomorrow. Do you think the principal will let me take a day off of work for construction on my house?
