The mid west just got dumped on! I don't even know how much snow we actually got but it is amazing. I think it broke the record for our state. I grew up with snow cold weather and winter 7 months out of the year. I now live far from home and we are lucky to get a couple inches a year.

This week though has been amazing. I look out my windows and I would swear I was anywhere but here. The streets are covered in snow. I haven't bee able to get my car out the driveway for 5days or more.

It is fun though knowing this will probably be once in a lifetime. A friend told me about a fun snow activity I had never heard of. Making ice cream out of snow. My children are young and they love the snow but I was so unprepared. All we have are rain boots, only one of children has a "real" coat and our gloves are fleece for warmth not waterproof for snow. So this was the perfect activity for us.
