Snow Day Fun!

This is our first real accumulation of snowfall for the Winter, and the kids got to be home from school. There were lots of hoops and hollers this morning before 7 AM when the phone call came saying NO SCHOOL! We accomplished lots of activities today including...playing plenty of Wii games and watching cartoons, making chocolate chip cookies, free play including making forts - setting up a library and Macy making us visit to check out books - and playing musical instruments. We spent some time outside and gathered enough fresh snow to make snow ice cream. Oh my it is good! I highly recommend trying it out...
1 gal fresh snow
2 cups milk
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 cup sugar
Mix it up and YUM, YUM!!
Oh what fun these kids are!!!
