Snowy Day Slushies

On Saturday APRIL 9, we woke up to it snowing....again. It has been snowy and cold all week and it was getting a little disheartening. I keep wanting to get the shorts out for the boys, but every cold day I decide to wait a little longer. I decided that we needed a pick me up. A little bit of fun on a gray, cold, dreary day. That is when we decided to go to "Big Daddy's Pizza." It is a new pizza place in our area and they are open 24 hours. Like if you wanted to get a pizza at 3:18 in the morning, it is not problem. Genius, who comes up with these ideas? Well, they had Orange Crush there, and as many of you know, I am a FAN! I thought it would be fun to make some snow slushies.
We grabbed a bowl of CLEAN snow (I don't know that the cleanliness of the snow made a difference to the boys...) and we just stuck it in glasses and added some soda, oh and of course a straw. That is a must. Delish.

Lincoln has been sporting Josh's protective glasses. I was waiting for him to laugh about it, but he was dead serious. I LOVE it when my kids do stuff like that.

McKay is a fan of Big Daddy's Pizza.
We made an indoor snowman out of the rest of our snow. We used the only supplies we had, M&Ms and the tip of a carrot for his nose. The M&Ms made the poor thing cry green tears.
When we were done, Lincoln asked if he could eat it (once again, thank goodness it was clean :)

I tell you what, after all this fun were were GLAD it snowed...for a second :)

Now there's a positive attitude! I cursed the weather all weekend. Is Big Daddy's any good?

It was spicier than we have had before, which some in our family loved. It was pretty small too. I think for $5 I like Little Ceasar's better.

You are a fun Mom. I'm grateful I get to join the ride!
