SNOW DAY!!! I can’t believe it! We have officially broken the record for the most snow in one day EVER in Fort Worth. It snowed for almost 24 hours and we got 12 inches! It was incredible. It NEVER EVER EVER snows, and if it does “snow” it’s usually actually sleet but we are just so excited we call it snow anyways. I was trying to hold off posting and allow the voting to continue, but I had to post about the snow. I just couldn’t resist!

So, if you are here to vote, by all means vote! You can click here and skip straight to the voting post or you can just scroll down. (If you don’t want to miss the snow ice cream recipe, I suggest scrolling down)

I still can’t believe this is what my backyard looks like.

Clementine is LOVING the snow.

Layla on the other hand is enjoying standing inside at the door in her warm jacket watching Clementine leap and bound through the snow.

She goes out, but for very very short periods of time and comes back quickly. She also does not like it when I forget to put her jacket on… Clementine despises the jackets. It is an insult to her hardcore-ness.

Enough about my dogs…on with the ice-cream! or, snow-cream rather

This recipe comes from my good pal Jen.

SNOW CREAM

1 Cup Sugar

1 Cup Milk

2 Tablespoons of Vanilla

2 Teaspoons of Cinnamon

8 Cups Snow

Mix all of the ingredients together in a smaller bowl before gathering the snow. If you have dogs, I suggest getting snow from the front yard!

Dan loves his plants, he’s been worried about them.

Snow is like little pieces of Heaven.

You want 8 cups, you don’t have to be exact–this isn’t rocket science. We did two scoops like what you see below:

Then of course take a break to throw a snow-ball.

Now pour your milk/sugar/cinnamon/vanilla mixture in with your snow and mix with a big’ol wooden spoon.

and…voila!

so yummy!

Enjoy! Frolic! Eat! Yay for snow days!!
