More Pictures from Snow Days...

Was having trouble posting all of them, so here goes the rest (hopefully).

Snow Days

So, last week the girls got out of school early on Tuesday and had no school on Wednesday or Thursday. We tried to make the best of it with a few bumps in the road...the girls played in the snow on the upper deck on Wednesday and than on Thursday we snuck out for a bit while Isaac and Sophia were napping (though it was terribly cold with the wind chill I only let them stay out for a few minutes). I think by Thursday afternoon I had lost my mind...I let the girls make "snow cream"...yes, I usually am telling them "don't eat the snow" and that day, I encouraged it. You take 8 c. of snow, one can of sweetened condensed milk and a tsp. of vanilla and you end up with GREAT ice cream. We made ours into sundaes with caramel and cherries on top!:) The girls really thought I had lost it. We also made cookies...we had about 100 cookies cut out, the girls helped to frosting about 20 of them and than got bored with it. However, they did continue to add the sprinkles. I have included a picture of the "special" cookie Elizabeth made for Matt. A little cookie with your sprinkles? We also tried to have a little photo shoot with Isaac and Sophia in their Christmas outfits from Nana and Papa.
