We woke up this morning to 5 inches of snow. Holy canolies… I guess the weather forecast was right {for once}. As you can imagine first on the agenda was sledding.
The street we live on has the best hill in town. As soon as daylight broke, Mr. Hillbilly fired up the 4 wheeler and smoothed out a sledding path for the neighborhood kids. This is high maintenance suburbia after all. You can’t possibly expect the kids to do it themselves now can you.
After the sledding was done we came in and made snow cones. Well, technically we had no cones. So maybe I should rename this How to Make Syrup for Flavored Snow. But then some sicko might request a recipe for How to Make Yellow Snow. So for now, I’ll just keep the title as is.
How to Make Snow Cone Syrup
Ingredients
1 Packet Kool-Aid
1 cup water
2 cups sugar
Combine the Kool-Aid, sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Stir until sugar and Kool-Aid is dissolved. Remove from heat and cool. Once cool, place the funnel into a squeezy bottle and fill. Squirt flavoring onto fresh clean snow and eat.
Yum!

I’m so glad you included that the snow should be clean. I’m having a hard time explaining that part to my 4 year old, yuck! With all this new snow we may have to give this a try, just hope that the twins don’t start to eat the snow when I’m not watching. Thanks Mavis!
We just came in for lunch and a break from making those fun snow angels and was looking up a recipe for snow ice cream, but alas I don’t have any condensed milk on hand…bummer! I picked up my phone to call my neighbor before getting all dressed up again and saw your post! Perfect timing! Now the big debate will be what flavor we should make the syrup! Happy Snow Day Mavis!
PS. I had to laugh…have you seen the latest cover of the magazine Bloomburg Businessweek? Its photo of Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer and across his picture is a title that reads: No More Mr. Monkey Boy! Funny!
That is funny.
That looks like fun. I wish we’d have some snow.
