Winter Cleaning and SNOW Eating!

I'm not sure who came up with the "Spring Cleaning" title, but they should have just made a "Winter Cleaning" title as well. Last week I got a little out of control cleaning in my room. Thanks to my momma, who gave me a new hand held vacume I was able to suck up all kinds of dust, chlorox my shower, (By the way... NEVER spray Chlorox while the shower door is shut, bad idea. See I told you I learn new things all the time.) Windex'd my mirrors, organized my closet, added new tea lights to my candles, cleaned the inside of my bedroom windows (SICK!) and finally sucked all the dust from the nooks and crannies in my stand up fan! Result: Was able to find all of my snow gear for the STORM OF THE SEASON:
It was B-E-AUTIFUL and lots of fun! I was trying to measure the snow when I realized I didn't have a ruler (What school teacher doesn't have a dang ruler?!) So... Since everyone knows how tall a spatula and a bottle of wine and a highlighter are, this is the reason for the picture above! The highlighter you can't see, it is just barely buried! For those of you that know me well, Snow is VERY high on my top 5 favorite things list... and so I was probably the most happy girl in RDU yesterday.
WHAT is possibly so harmful about eating snow anyways? When your out sledding just put your hand out to the right... and there you have it, an instant free slushy. So good, so good! The best kind is right where no one has ever touched, its yours and only yours. I have been eating snow since I was very little (....well, when it actually snowed) and here I am A-OK! So here's the task:
Making Cam's Snow cream
1. Walk outside Put some snow (the untouched of course :) ) in a bowl
2. Add milk
3. Add vanilla
4. Add sugar
5. EAT IT UP!
*notice there are no measurements.... clearly the reason for why I'm such a horrible BAKER and an AWESOME in the process BETTY CROCKER.
Enjoy! Let me know if there really is a "Snow Cream" recipe, I should give it a whirl...

mmmm, with the plethora of snow that Jack Frost has provided DC this winter I have had numerous opportunities to eat snow. I love snow cream too! BUT i have also just been old fashioned and pack a cup full of clean snow and pour my dr pepper on top, mmm, enjoy that slushy goodness.
