Play-date


Uta's friend Willa came for a play-date. She brought four stuffed cats with her, two pink and two grey. Uta feigned interest and then pulled Willa to his lego station and invited her to build robots. Willa flat out refused. They finally found common ground in the kitchen, both equally excited over the prospect of baking blueberry muffins. They measured and mixed, cracked eggs and coughed (both fighting the tail end of a cold sweeping through the first grade). They coughed so much they decided they were making Blueberry Cough Muffin. While the muffins baked, Uta and Willa ran about the apartment catching ghosts with a bicycle pump and about eight feet of dryer venting pipe. (By the way, the venting pipe was a gift from Uncle J, quite possibly the best care package ever. Nothing beats opening a box and finding oodles of shiny silver tubing, and other fun goodies. Thanks J, J, and M.)
