sometimes you can distract him with stuff like snowball throwing, making a snowman, or even sledding.
usually though, all wintry activities culminate in the eating of snow.
once everyone's back inside, wet clothes stripped off, warming up-- what's first on the agenda?
snow ice cream, of course! here's how we make it:
- scoop up the freshest, cleanest looking snow you can find, in a big bowl
- quickly add some whole milk and pure maple syrup (you'll know when you've got enough)
- stir it up until it reaches the consistency you like
- eat quickly, it melts fast!

awesome! avery LOVES to eat snow too! in fact, i caught him eating snow off the CAR. he was all, "um...i like salty snow mommy!"

Are you familiar with the "Free To Be, You and Me" album? (As I mentioned over at Not to brag.., I've been listening to it quite a bit as of late.) In "Glad to Have a Friend Like You", Marlo Thomas sings about a snow ice cream recipe. I never thought it would work? I stand corrected.
I have fond memories of snow ice cream and have always wondered about the recipe. Thanks!
