snow ice cream...

as most of you know, our community has spent quite a bit of time inside lately. while we have just under a foot of snow, we have had insanely cold temps. this has meant a lot less time at school last week.

i happened to remember dear friend giving me a recipe a few years ago for snow ice cream. well, that will be something fun to do with the kids. so i hunted for the recipe but couldn't find it. i googled and found a simple one. snow, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla. simple - and i have it all. especially, plenty of snow.

so i gathered the clean snow and we went to work. i have to say, this was very yummy! i love homemade ice cream and this was so similar. very tasty and very yummy!!!

if you have snow - make it some day. it is a fun, easy,frugal, and well, natural project!

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
