 We moved out to the country a few months ago to a place with a fenced in yard. Our 1 year old rabbit, Poster, had never been outside before so we took him out to check out the yard. Oh my gosh did he have fun!! He ran and looked and hid and was all over the place.

First he looked under the chair to make sure it was safe…after he saw that nothing could get him….

He checked out the wall. Just to make sure none of the spiders could get him .

He hopped over to the rose bushes where the was an abundant supply of fresh grass and clovers to eat. So he had himself a little snack.

But as he was checking the yard out he would often turn his head just to make sure we were still there and he was still safe.

But then he got spooked and ran and….

RRRRAAAANNN back to safety.

That is our little man! Come back for more adventures of Poster in the backyard a.k.a. his playground.

I found this really cute craft idea that you can do with your kids on www.kaboose.com and wanted to share it with everyone!

Patriotic Pinwheels

What you’ll need:

How to make it:

1. Using the template as a guide, cut the white paper to a 7" square.
2. Cut a star shape out of a household sponge.
3. Squeeze blue paint onto a palette or paper plate. Dip sponge into paint, dab off excess, and press onto paper. Repeat design in several places. Clean out the sponge and repeat with red paint.
4. Use a gold paint pen to draw dots and curly lines on the paper to decorate it further. Let dry then turn over and decorate the other side.
5. Use a ruler and a pencil to lightly mark the paper according to the template. Cut diagonal lines toward the center, using the template as a guide.
6. Use the pencil to poke holes in the paper where indicated on the template.
7. Insert the thumbtack into the wooden dowel to create a hole. Remove thumbtack.
8. Fold one of the corners (with a hole) toward the center of the paper. Insert the thumbtack through the hole. Bring the next corner up and under the first one, inserting the thumbtack. Repeat for all four then push the thumbtack through the center hole.
9. Holding the tack and the paper together with one hand, turn over and slide the pony bead onto the thumbtack, then insert the thumbtack into the dowel. This will add space between the paper pinwheel and the dowel.

Tips:

1. You can use a new pencil with an eraser instead of the dowel.
2. To shorten the dry time, only paint one side of the paper. When you begin folding, have the unpainted side facing up at you so that when folding over the corners, the designs will become visible.
3. Do not use card stock or poster board. That type of paper is too heavy and your pinwheel will not turn.

 

If you like Nutella you are going to love this recipe!

I made it for my husband and we served it with vanilla bean ice cream! It is to die for

Ingredients
Makes one 9-by-5 Inch Loaf
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
4 large eggs at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
¾ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 ¼ cups sugar
One 13-ounce jar Nutella

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease and flour a 9-by-inch loaf pan, tapping out any excess flour. In a glass measuring cup, lightly beat the eggs with vanilla. In a medium bowl, whisk the 1 ½ cups of flour with the baking powder and salt.

2. In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer, bear the butter with the sugar at medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. With the mixer at medium-low speed, gradually beat in the egg mixture until fully incorporated. Add the flour mixture in 3 batches, beating at low speed between additions until just incorporated. Continue to beat for 30 seconds longer.

3. Spread on-third of the batter in the prepared pan, then spread half of the Nutella on top. Repeat with another third of the batter and the remaining Nutella. Top with the remaining batter. Lightly swirl the Nutella into the batter with a butter knife. Do not overmix.

4. Bake the cake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Invert the cake onto a wire rack, turn it right side up and let cool completely, about 2 hours. Cut the cake into slices and serve.

Make ahead: The pound cake can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

What a great recipe!
