Pencil + Paper = Culinary Flair

Emi, being the amazingly creative child that she is, has built, brick-by-brick, the coolest Lego house ever! It is much more imaginative and professional looking than anything I, as a child (or even as an adult, for that matter), ever constructed with those colorful, interlocking blocks.

Grandma Block happened to be over today (to watch Annie, who was home being sick, while I ran Emi to school.) While Annie dozed off on the floor, Grandma and I discussed Emi's many projects - from her writing and drawing to today's building skills, and how much Emi enjoys art in any form. We glanced over several of her stories and illustrations and talked about other media Emi dabbles in. Grandma commented on Emi's Lego house, "I think that girl, with all her talent, would be a good architect!"

Apparently Annie wasn't asleep anymore (and apparently she wishes Emi's art was edible) because she objected to Grandma's statement by telling us, "I think Emi would be a good cook."
