Little Blue Bunny Update: Part 2. Kitchen hijinks!

LBB was down but not out. Maybe getting the LOLs to organize to protest failed but how about asking for help in a baking escapade.

(At this point, D twirled around and said, “He always makes a mess of the kitchen when we’re gone.” True.)

His plan was to make a fake apple pie (click for actual recipe) using round snack crackers.

He got about 12 of the dolls to climb the stairs. They had to climb on each other’s shoulders and then pull up the ones left behind.

Luckily, toys don’t get tired so soon a pile of them gathered in the kitchen.  They dragged the broom over to the counter then shinnied up the broom handle. On the counter they made a pyramid so they could reach the cupboard. They handed down the ingredients as LBB shouted them out.

“Crackers, cinnamon, flours, sugar!” He sounded like a boss!

Coconut Cutie was reading the labels and when she found a box marked with a big S, she handed it down.

The toys got to work making a pie crust. Stuffy Cam videos do NOT transfer to people computers very well but watching them try to roll out the crust was hilarious. They finally dumped the crust into the pan and jumped on it to spread it out.

LBB mixed the filling ingredients and poured them over the cracker pieces.
Then they put the pie on a dish towel, gathered the corners together, and lowered it to the oven shelf. Four of the dolls and Franklin slid the dish towel from under the pie pan.
Then they scurried out of the oven. The broom handle helped them close the oven door.

LBB hopped on the controls and 30 minutes later the pie was done.

When it was cool, they put it on the floor and everyone gathered around. Fancy got the first taste. It smelled all cinnamon -y and yummy.



Fancy took a bite. And...

"YUCK!. Bleach!"

LBB hopped up and took a taste. He spit it right out.

He scrambled up the broomstick to the counter where he looked at all the ingredients.

"Where’s the sugar?" He squeaked.  "Why is this empty box of salt here?"

The dolls all laughed at his funny face. 

Coconut Cutie’s mouth looked like an “O”. “I thought it was sugar. It looks like sugar.”

Little Blue Bunny fell over in disappointment.

He and Franklin spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning up the kitchen before Daddy got home. The dolls slid down the stairs back to the playroom to avoid any more work.

Little Blue Bunny wiped his forehead with his ears. "I learned a good lesson." he sighed. "Always check your ingredients."

Franklin nodded. They sat on the bottom step by the front door and just thought.

“Do you have any other ideas for fun?” Franklin asked. He knew LBB would come up with something amazing.

“My next idea is the best one yet!” Little Blue Bunny gave an excited hop.

They heard a car pull into the driveway.

“Quick!” The bunnies hopped up the stairs to D’s bedroom just as Daddy came in through the basement door...
