The day after the Blizzard of Oz, I decided not to risk the snow packed roads and drive into work. We would all stay snowed in and I would work from home while Karsten and Scott played.
Scott headed out to scoop the driveway while Karsten and I had breakfast. He is always anxious to scoop the driveway so as soon as he heard neighbors outside clearing their driveways, he was out the door. :) Thankfully our wonderful neighbor came over with his snowblower and helped Scott clear our driveway. Together it took them 30 minutes - I can't imagine how long it would have taken Scott if he had tried to shovel it all on his own.

After lunch, we made snowcream with Jenn's yummy snow ice cream recipe. Yup, I said after lunch and Karsten is still in his PJs. Being snowed in means you get to wear your PJs ALL day! :)

Karsten liked to dip his finger in the pitcher of ice cream.

Not sure if he was saying yummm or just making a funny face - either way, I love this picture.

Karsten was a huge fan of the snowcream from the first bite.

He was drooling he enjoyed it so much!

Karsten said 'want moooooore' and stuck his hand in the pitcher to get more snow.

After we finished mixing up the bowl, Karsten grabbed the bowl and pulled it over to him and dipped his spoon right in.



Let's just say he was NOT a happy camper when it was time to put the snowcream away. Luckily it made so much that we were able to put some in the freezer to have after dinner tonight!!

Karsten took a nice long nap in the afternoon and before we knew it it was dinnertime and our second snow day was coming to an end. Scott made yummy fish tacos and black beans for dinner. Karsten LOVES black beans, as you can see, they are a messy food to eat. He ended up with them all over his face!


We had mixed berries over our snowcream for dessert. YUM!

The berries blended right in with the black beans all over Karsten's face.


What a great snow day - I know all of you would probably throw snowballs at me, but I wouldn't mind having another blizzard and getting snowed in.
