The Great Snowfall




Our second snowfall of the season proved to be even better than the first snowfall. It snowed over night on sunday and into the day on Monday. We got 6 -7 inches on the ground. A record for Anderson, I'm sure. Needless to say, Anderson is completely shut down. So No School!! Yeah!!





The driveway is buried so we aren't going anywhere anyway. We just had fun with the fluffy snow.


Marianne thought to make some snow cream out of our freshly fallen, deep snow.
Tips: Use plastic bowl, plastic measuring cup, and wooden spoon, and mix outside







Yummy



She finished up mixing it inside, then we ate it for lunch. It was soooo good!!! You should make some.
8 cups of snow
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp vanilla
Yum, yum!!








The dogs had a blast too.
I had called in sick on Thursday and Friday last week, so this has really given me an extended vacation. We had Christmas break, then I worked 3 days and have been off ever since. Friday this week is an unpaid teacher work day and Monday is a school holiday because of stupid Martin Luther King Day. So, we are hoping for no school at all until January 18.

Wow!! That's some serious snow. I'm going to make some snow cream on our next clean snowfall. There's not even a hint of where your driveway is. Enjoy!

Where's the driveway? You want some more, you can have our snow! Me doesn't want anymore snow.
