Candyland @ MIT

Though they were given the option to build anything they wanted, three teams decided to model MIT buildings. Check it out, who do you think should win?

The team that built Baker:

The Killian one looks like it was directly extracted from the story of Hansel and Gretel. Very sweet (literally)!

We did kinda' the same thing in homeroom today- we decorated gingerbread men. While this is less ingenuous, we only had 10 minutes. Brilliant colors!
I love the idea of study break- everyone stops at the same time and goofs off!

Well, Baker House in Candyland seems to be the only architecture there that resembles what the buildings are modeled after, but Killian Hall is definitely the most scrumpdidlyumptious (courtesy from Mr. Willy Wonka).

Lookie, yes I noticed it, but hopefully it says on the backside "sucks" = )

If not, I can't explain. = )

Oh by the way, all the gingerbread houses look delicious!!
