Snow Day!

We had our second snow day today! Yay! Yeah, yeah, yeah, as a teacher I get summers off blah, blah, blah. It is still super exciting to know I am getting a snow day! Dan and I always treat it special. Knowing it was going to be a big storm, we stocked up and were prepared! We had a fun day with the kids and did a bunch of "extra" fun things (mainly so Courtney wouldn't go insane). We got around 10 inches of snow (with more in the forecast!) The best part of the day was our Hicks family Harlem Shake video - snow day style!

My boot came off! 

Courtney wanted to immediately go outside! She ended up going out three times before noon! It was COLD so none of her trips outside lasted long. She has some fascination with wanting to eat snow...

A picnic lunch!

I set out a bowl in the morning to fill up with snow. That didn't take long! This kept BOTH kids busy for about a half hour! We will be doing this again! 

Lots of play time!

And of course there were snacks! First up - puppy chow. Courtney was excited!

Making snow ice cream! My friend Debbie from church posted her recipe on Facebook and we've used it for a few years. She suggests setting a bowl outside to fill up so you know you are getting fresh clean snow.
1 gallon of fresh snow
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla (I add a little more)
Mix and eat immediately!

YUM!
