Snow-Cream

So it snowed a good three to four inches today or maybe more, maybe less.  Who knows?!  I'm not a good gauger but you get the point.  It snowed a lot!  I was so thankful that my kids were completely content playing inside.  No one asked to play outside!  It could have something to do with the fact that this is like the fourth time in a month that we have had snow on the ground.

However, Hayes did want some snow cream.  He reminded Adam that the last time it snowed (two days ago) we forgot to make some.  They placed a bowl outside to collect snow.  It took everything in him to resist the urge to check on the bowl every two minutes.  He was so excited!

Adam makes some serious snow cream with sweetened condensed milk.  What isn't fantastic with a can of sweet milk from heaven?!  I'll bet my kids would even eat squash if it was drenched in that stuff.  Sadly, we were out so Adam took Holt and Hayes to Walgreen's to pick some up, stopping first at a parking lot for some donuts in the CRV.  (In case you didn't already know, at Walgreen's you pay for convenience.  At $4.19 a can, it better be some sweet milk straight from heaven!)

By the time they got home, the bowl was filled with snow and ready to make cream.  Everyone had a delicious portion but no one enjoyed it more than Hayes.
