Homemade Ice Cream

Since we were just getting used to spring, and we woke up to snow today, we decided to take advantage of it and make some homemade ice cream.

First we put a metal bowl in the freezer for a while to get it nice and cold.

Then Carson went and gathered up some clean snow. I think this snow was as clean as it could be because it had just fallen and nobody had walked through it yet.


Next we brought it inside.
Then we added some sugar, vanilla extract and some milk and gave it a good stir.

Then we ate it. It tasted just like vanilla ice cream. I wouldn't want to eat too much of it, though, because the only thing I could think about while I ate it was that it was snow and it came from outside. It kind of grossed me out. But the kids scarfed it down and loved it.

Then Hayden wrote a note to me on the floor with some pieces to a game.


He is such a sweetie!
