Hello From Peter!

It's a beautiful day outside today and Peter is enjoying every minute of it.
He was munching on spinach leaves as I took this photo :)
He wishes you all a lovely weekend!
:)

Snuggly Bunny

I snapped the cutest photo of our sweet Bunny.
He has free reign of our kitchen every day, and is such a love!

Bunny of the house

Our "House Bunny" Peter Rabbit loves to get into things..
He was loose in my daughter's bedroom and found her schoolwork.
I guess it is true when students say their pets ate their homework!
(Peter caught in the act!)

Easter Celebrations

Easter is upon us!
A beautiful time of year. Our family is very excited to be celebrating this wonderful day. We will celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus and we look forward to attending a wonderful mass at our church.
I have been baking today, and made my annual bunny cake. My daughter and I had fun coloring Easter eggs. I think my fingers will be different colors now for quite a long time to come!
We are very excited for tomorrow, the weather is supposed to be beautiful!
Here are some pictures I took today, one of our rabbit, he just loves Easter too. :)
From our family to yours, blessings to you, He is Risen!!




Raggedystitches,

Play dough

My daughter's science teacher asked the students to bring in play dough for a project they will be working on in class.
She said it would be better if they made their own play dough with items they had in the kitchen. We found a great recipe on the internet, and colored the dough with food coloring.
It was lots of fun making the play dough, and I think I had more fun playing with it than my daughter did :P

This was very easy to make and the recipe is as follows:

step 1 Ingredients
Playdough is a classic childhood toy everyone can have fun with, and it's so easy to make at home you'll never buy that stinky store variety again.Basic ingredient ratios:*2 cups flour *2 cups warm water *1 cup salt *2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
*1 Tablespoon cream of tartar (optional for improved elasticity…

step 2 Mix and heat
Mix all of the ingredients together, and stir over low heat. The dough will begin to thicken until it resembles mashed potatoes. When the dough pulls away from the sides and clumps in the center, as shown below, remove the pan from heat and allow the dough to cool enough to handle. IMPORTANT…

step 3 Knead & color
Turn the dough out onto a clean counter or silicone mat, and knead vigorously until it becomes silky-smooth. Divide the dough into balls for coloring. Make a divot in the center of the ball, and drop some food coloring1 in. Fold the dough over, working the food color through the body of the play dough…

step 4Play and store
Play with your playdough- I really don't need to help you there. It's entirely edible, if a bit salty, so it's kid-safe. When you're done store it in an air-tight container. If it begins to dry out, you can knead a bit of water in again to soften the dough back to useability.


We are supposed to get snow tonight. WOOHOO!!!
Wonder if school will be closed for tomorrow?
My daughter really won't get a break from school..the teachers made sure they gave out plenty of reports and projects that are due next week.
This weekend will be full of work for her :(

Peter Rabbit has pretty much taken up residency inside our home..he hasn't been outside in quite some time now..it is just too cold out there.
One spoiled bunny if you ask me!

Will report back on the snow details :)
