Let It Stop! Let It Stop! Let It Stop!

Can you believe how much snow we've gotten this winter???  Metro Schools, where Jason works, had four built-in snow days.... Today marks snow day number 11. At least I think so, I really quit counting weeks ago.  Dub gets so frustrated whenever he hears that school is out because apparently he's heard that these days will be made up in the summer, and he's worried that he won't have much of a summer break (me too, actually).  We've had snow cream so often that it's starting to be as annoying as vegetables at supper time: "No, you cannot have a banana until you finish your snow cream!" Well, that's not true, but we've had it a LOT.

And we used to have a snow day "tradition" ~ whenever snow would be forecasted, when everyone else would hit the grocery stores to stock up on milk, bread, etc., we would go and get chips and ingredients for Ro-tel dip, or some other mutually agreed-upon treat like that.

This year, Jason just hasn't been in the mood for this tradition. In the beginning of this winter (or actually, the end of the fall when all this snow started), whenever I mentioned it, he would just say, "Nahhhhh...." Now I don't even mention it.  It was bothering me at first, like he was sending subliminal messages that I really don't need to eat that stuff. But today I got to thinking, if we'd had Ro-tel dip every snow day this year....

This would be me!!!

Unfortunately, it almost is anyway, but that's a whole 'nother story.

Here's our recipe for snow cream, in case you were wondering.

About 6-8 cups of FRESH, WHITE snow :)

1 can sweetened condensed milk (like Eagle Brand)

1 tsp vanilla flavoring

Mix it up, divide it up, eat it up...it's so good! Oh, and you can add chocolate syrup if you'd rather have chocolate. We're a vanilla family. :)

Y'all have fun with your snow, whatever way you choose to enjoy it! And stay WELL!!!
