The Cavalry has arrived!!!

The Cavalry has arrived.....and wouldn't you know they brought the snow with them!! On Tuesday my parents relieved me of my single mom status and will be staying with the boyz and I for the next three weeks! The boyz have been making a list of things that they wanted to do with Nana and Papa! One of the things on their list....
Bowling (put a check in that box)


Now if they thought that there was the slightest chance of snow while Nana and Papa were here they would have said they wanted to make snow ice cream! Well as luck would have it (and much to my dismay) snow fell the second night that they were here and that was the first words out of my boyz mouths the next morning! My girlfriend gave me a recipe that she received from her Great-Grandma! The trick is to continually put in snow until it becomes the consistency of ice cream...it actually is really good! If you can get over the fact that there might be the occasional piece of dirt or grass blade in it. I have found if you skim the top layer of the snow off and use the layer in between then that is the perfect snow for your winter treat!





Snow Ice Cream (put a check in that box)

So if snow happens to fall here is a delicious treat to enjoy with your kids... if nothing else it makes for great memories!

1 Cup Sugar, 2 Cups Milk, and 1 Tablespoon of Vanilla

Continue to add snow until it is the consistency of ice cream!!!

If you need help, my boyz have definitely mastered the art of snow ice cream...well at least the eating part they have!

Glad y'all are having fun! We didn't wind up making snow ice cream...couldn't find any snow that I was willing to deem "clean"! :) I'm glad yours turned out well! Hope you have a great weekend! :)

Looks like Coop is getting brain freeze in that last photo! Where was all that snow when I was there?
