With the winter storms that have closed local schools and businesses, I'm pretty sure that the Groundhog did see his shadow and we'll have 6 more weeks of winter (at least).
It has been so cold here, freezing cold winds, snow falling constantly. The worst is that my mom who lives in Sunny Southern Utah is complaining about her weather. Are you kidding!?!
But winter is not all bad. It really allows a change of pace. Life is slower. We spend much more time at home....and not necessarily watching television. We get a lot more schoolwork done. Plus, when the day is somewhat nice, we can play in the snow.
For our treat for Family Home Evening, we decided to make lemonade out of lemons...or in other words, make ice cream out of snow.
Snow Cream
It was great. The kids had a blast making it, and it really did taste like homemade ice cream. All we did was add a few teaspoons of sugar to a bowl of snow (making sure it's clean snow) then add a couple of tablespoons of half-and-half with a drop of vanilla extract. Mix it all together and it is delicious!!
