Last snow post...I hope!

 As mentioned in the post below we made snow ice cream yesterday. The kids LOVED making it! 

 my official taste tester
 Lauren decided it needed some color. 
 And then she insisted it needed chocolate chips. 
 They both took 2 bites and were done. But thye had a blast making it and it entertained them for a whole 10 minutes so it was worth it:)

p.s.- anyone think Ben needs a hair cut? 

 Lauren decided it was too cold and would be better warmed up and insisted on pouring hot water on it. I  figured why not let her try- turn it into a science experiment, right? 
 She quickly learned that hot water melts snow, duh. 
 We had to take advantage of the last night of sledding since the warm temps (40 degrees!) and rain were headed our way. 
 We went to the apartment complex across the street from us and it was the perfect place to sled, should've gone over there days ago!
 I wanted to be in at least 1 picture to prove I was here for the 2012 Snow Storm as well:) 
 Dog Pile Sledding
 Wee!

 Then we were lucky enough to be invited over to our neighbors to hot tub in the snow last night!!! 
It was so fabulous, we all had the best time and it made us REALLY want our own hot tub! One of these days! 

It is currently raining, I tried to go shovel our driveway and the entrance to our neighborhood and it is a disgusting mess of ice and snow. The next few days are going to be nasty, can't wait to get back to just regular old rain...never thought I'd say that!!

You guys really should get a hot tub...you do always talk about it. Just do it. And we will get a boat. And we can all share:). Looks fun in your 'hood!
