Can Anyone Say "Cabin Fever"?

Our week started out with snow. Awesome! Snow is not the norm here so when we get it, we enjoy it!





Problem is... in less than 24 hours that snow turned into rain and it hasn't stopped!... and guess what? I just looked at the 7 day forcast... we're in for 7 more days of rain!! Ugh! We are suffering from cabin fever! Time to be creative! First we made these pigs:



The kids love making crafts and have been playing with them all afternoon.
Note to self: Go to Michaels this weeknd and pick up more craft supplies... we're gonna need 'em!

Next we decided to make a treat for Daddy -
Blueberry cinnamon buns!



Slap some icing on these babies and I think he'll be happy!



And in case you want to try these yourself:

Blueberry Cinnamon Buns

Set yeast:
1/2 cup warm water
1 tsp sugar
1 Tbsp yeast

Mix dough:
1 cup warm water
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 egg
2 Tbsp oil
4 cups flour

Knead. Cover. Rise for one hour. Repeat.
Roll out dough and brush with 1/4 cup melted butter.
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture (1/2 cup sugar and 1 and a half tsp. of cinnamon).
Sprinkle with blueberries (as many as you like).
Roll up, cut and place in greased pan.
Let rise for an hour.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

Enjoy!
