Snow Ice Cream

Last week, we were home bound ALL week! We first got a huge amount of sleet and freezing rain, and the temperatures drop to single digits! Then we got 5 inches of snow on top of that! I really was crazy that Nathan, Charlotte, and I were inside our house for 1 full week! School was cancelled the whole week (even the big school districts cancelled classes), but we made the week fun. We stayed in our pj's the whole week, watched tons of movies (Nathan's new favorite is How to Train Your Dragon), cleaned the house and organized, and we made snow ice cream! Here are some pictures:

Even though the ground cover was white, it really wasn't snow...it was ice! So Nathan had a little bit of trouble scooping it up. I had to make a hole for him first and chip it away :) What we made was more like snow cones!










The M&Ms were supposed to be Valentine candy for his friends at school. I thought I was doing so good by getting it early! But we decide to use it as a topping, and then Nathan ate about 4 more bags by himself!
