Snow ice cream

Another first for the Teson family...snow ice cream! I looked up a super easy recipe and decided we had plenty of snow to pick from (over 10 inches of snow fell at our house during the week). So, Colin and I set outside to get a bowl full of snow and get cooking!

Ok, so we obviously didn't use the snow he scooped up with the dust pan, Brian got us some new fresh snow for our recipe...

Gross, but I just had to get a picture of it...nice snot rocket! Poor kid, it was so cold outside, we were only able to be out there for 15 minutes or so...frozen fingers!

And...the moment of truth...tasting our creation

So far, so good!

Must be good, he loved it. He kept coming up to Brian and I asking for "ice". We're still working on the spoon skills, but he's getting it.

Hopefully this will be a new tradition at our house, making snow ice cream. We really had a fun time and since it only had 3 ingredients, very easy to make.

Colin gets so excited when he can help Brian and I do whatever we are doing. Like sort laundry, sweep up the floor, pick up the toys, throw away dirty diapers, etc. He is getting to be such a big helper, which I know I will appreciate when Baby Sister comes along.

Happy Winter!
