Where oh, where is the MOLASSES??

Ok, So I have been wanting to make Annie's most delicious Gingerbread Men to bring into my First Grade Class. We have been talking about Gingerbread Men, Boys, Girls, Babies, & Fred's for the last two weeks. We have made a Gingerbread Village & YES!! I made a Gingerbread House!! It was too FUN!! Anyways, I really wanted to bring the yummy Gingerbread Cookies that our Annie makes, that we love so so so much!! So I got out the recipe & looked at all the ingredients.  I asked Mom & she said that she had tried to make them once, but they weren't as yummy as Annie's. (That made me a little weary to try.) But I figured what the heck. I just needed a rolling pin, eggs, brown sugar, and molasses.  All the other ingredients we had at the house.
 
So, on Friday, I bought a wooden rolling pin.  On Saturday, before I went to meet Anita & the girls for lunch, I went to WalMart & got 100% Molasses Syrup.  Forgetting about eggs & brown sugar.  Then while talking to Maggi, she said she had brown sugar. So, I figured all I needed to get was eggs... I did, I stole them from Maggi's house!!!  Problem solved, I had everything that I needed...
 
Saturday night, on my way home after getting Maggi's brown sugar & stealing her eggs!! I realized at midnight that what I had bought was NOT MOLASSES!! But 100% MAPLE SYRUP!!!!! Dang it!!! No Gingerbread Men for me!! 
 
Well, Sunday morning, I awake to the sound of cooking...Dad stole the eggs from me & made them for breakfast!! And then Sunday night, I found out that Maggi has MOLASSES at her house too & I could have just stole that as well!! Moral of the story, search Maggi's house better before going to the store!! ;)
