All during the school year, Daphne repeatedly asked her teacher to come to our house. She said she could only do that in the summer, but promised that she would. Today was the day. So, Daphne, with a little help from me, busily prepared brownies in the Easy Bake oven so we would have a treat to share.
We decorated the brownies with some chocolate frosting and a few sprinkles. Here's the result:
Hmmm. Well, you don't get a lotta bang for your buck with the Easy Bake Oven, but it's still fun, and they tasted alright. Miss Heidi (pretended that she) enjoyed them very much, which made Daphne happy.
We had a nice visit. Daphne showed Miss Heidi all around the house and the garden, and we sent her home with some tomatoes and peppers.
After she left, Daphne, Austin (in the blue chair), and I had a tea party, which Daphne set up all by herself. We each got two cupcakes, a cookie, and a piece of birthday cake (all toys, fortunately). It was lovely.
I have just decided that I want to have tie-dye day. Daphne's cousins did it recently with very nice results. I guess it will have to wait for cooler days, though.
OK...off to read for a while. MNO tonight at the Wine Kitchen. Yep.

Photo of plate & brownies: I like how the moose is wistfully peering over the edge of the plate at the brownies.
Tie-die: Don't forget white socks and white undies -- I'm sure Kevin will be appreciative.
