Random Fun at the Black Bear Cabin ~

 Its school spirit week for the last week of school and Jordyn is very excited...but not as excited as she was on Tuesday, when they celebrated her birthday!  Her birthday is in July, so the last week of school they celebrate the summer birthday kids, and Jordyn's big day was on Tuesday!  :)  I sent her to school with a delicious Butterfinger Cake, to which i received many kudos!  I actually got the recipe from Plain Chickens blog, which has all kinds of great recipes, so check it out when you get the chance!  As for the cake...i dont even like cake and i thought it was super tasty!  Happy Unbirthday Sweetheart!

 Today was dress up as your favorite literary character, so here is my little one fashioned as Pinkalicious.  Any excuse to wear a crown and fancy dress to school is cool with her!  As i dropped her off, i saw a few other characters...Cinderella, Huck Finn, Spiderman and i do believe i saw a leather clad biker and an angry bird!   :)  Her school is always doing something fun!

 Meanwhile back at the cabin, there was a stare down...but not between me and the deer...

 

It was between the deer and the cats!  The cats were spying on these deer, and naturally they thought they were in stealth mode (even with the white fur and black spots), but the deer spotted them (no pun intended), and stared at the cats for what seemed like an eternity!  One of them even tried to get a closer look...but any time they got a little too close, the cats took a few steps back.  It was really fun to watch...but hard to capture on film, because Jordyn kept spooking the deer!  doh!  Anyways, only a few more days till summer break!  Hurray!

Butterfinger Cake

1 box yellow cake mix, plus ingredients to make the cake,

1 can sweetened condensed milk, 

1 jar caramel ice cream topping,

1 (8oz) tub Cool-Whip,

4 regular sized Butterfinger candy bars, crushed.

Bake cake in a 9X13 inch pan according to directions on package.

While cake is baking, mix milk and caramel topping until well blended.  When the cake is done and while its still hot, poke holes in it with a fork or straw.  Pour milk mixture over the cake. (i only used a little over half of this mixutre, but you can add the whole thing if you like)  Allow cake to cool completely.  Sprinkle two candy bars over cake.  Spread Cool Whip over the top, then sprinkle the remaining candy bars on top.  Chill.
Tip:  freeze the candy bars first, and crush them right in the wrapper.
