This weekend has been AMAZING! and Tough TOO.. We had about 15 inches of snow fall over 2 days and we had a blast playing in it. This is the first snow that we have had this year so we were excited about it. Of course the first thing we did was snow Ice Cream…yummy and the kids loved it! I never was one for a recipe so all I did was took 4 cups of snow and added milk, sugar and vanilla extract till it tasted good. lol My oldest boy is not a sweet person so he never tried. I know weird right.. But my oldest girl and 7 month old boy couldn’t get enough.
But when there’s a lot of snow there’s not a lot of traveling..lol.. Now how to deal with Cabin Fever!?!? lol Now we wasn’t stranded that long but when u have 3 kids under 5 and the excitement of snow u have to come up with something for them to do..lol So we made Bracelets with beads and rubber bands.
Even the boys got involved. Since santa dropped them off a bracelet kit that had camouflage beads it made it a little more enticing. Now this was the first time I have made the rubber band bracelets and let me just say Shewwww… That is gonna take some time and effort to make. lol But overall we had fun and we got some new jewelry to wear out.
We were grateful to have everything we needed before the snow hit but I heard their was thousands stranded on the interstate and some without power. That’s awful. A couple years ago we invested in a coal/wood burning stove and thank God cause in times like this, it is worth Gold to me. I can’t imagine having kids and getting into a situation where u can’t stay warm. But for anyone around me I hope they know that I would take any of them in if it was needed. But today the snow started melting and the roads were getting cleared up and hopefully everyone will make it home to their love ones ok!
