Lordy.
Soon after that a half gallon of milk spilled and took out three dining chair cushions, one curtain and covered half of the dining room floor. And exactly zero kids ran to help clean it up.
But I thought I had the perfect remedy for an already frenzied 30 minutes.
MUFFINS!!!! It seems to work wonders for other mommies, so why not? But FOR THE LIFE of me I can't keep a muffin from burning on the bottom. Every. single. time. But they are kids. They should like muffin tops, right?
TOP OF THE MUFFIN TO YOU! Not. Two of my kids thought I was feeding them poison and proceeded to push me over the CRAZY LEDGE I was already on. Martha White would have hung her head in shame to hear such contempt over her Blueberry Cheesecake muffins.
For shame.
I put myself in TIME-OUT for yelling and possibly throwing a muffin top at them. If things didn't change soon, it was going to be a VERYLONGDAY.
Yada, yada, yada.
Long day over. We made it and even ended up on a high note. This was the perfect snow for Snow Ice Cream. We all pitched in with some cleaning and then made this yummy treat together.
Here is what you need for this treat.
gallon of fresh snow packed tightly in container, sugar, milk (we used half & half), and vanilla.
I already measured 1 cup sugar and put in the bowl while the kids were gathering the snow off the top deck.
When they AREN'T fighting, they are pretty cute!
Put the gallon of snow in the bowl with the sugar.
Pour in 1 cup milk or half/half. This batch seemed to take more liquid, so just keep eyes on it.
Pour some vanilla over the top and KISS THE COOK for being such a good sport.
Get a couple of cute things to stir it up.
Ready to eat. Langley loves hers with Hershey's. Well, duh! That's my girl.
Bowl should look like this. 
They should look like this. 
Do the dishes. Put them to bed and drink a box of this because you get to do it AGAIN TOMORROW.

Bwahahahaha!!! I LOVE YOU. You MAY have thrown a muffin top? I would have chucked the whole freaking pan at them. SO sorry about the milk. That's the worst. And the wine? Yeah, Jason just rolled over to remind me that he's going to be gone tomorrow evening. AFTER ANOTHER SNOW DAY. Wine will be my friend tomorrow night.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!I am laughing soooooo hard!!! Not at you of course...but with you, I do love your stories. I wish I would have had some muffins to throw at someone yesterday! And one of those boxes at the end of my day. That pretty little girl was in time out yestrday more than not I think. Oh, I have my hands full with her. Call me before you throw anything today and maybe we can help each other!!
Okay, muffin tops are awesome, what is their problem? ;-) But seriously, I always use liners...maybe that is the issue with the burnt muffins? And lastly, is it bad that I don't really like snow ice cream? My kids do, though, so I should probably make them some today!
Love you.
Ice cream might just be the answer to world peace....at least it calms down a lot of wars in our house! Glad your day ended on a high. ;o)
muffin tops are my absolute favorite... except for the one around my waist :o)
we all have those days. i think sometimes we set our expectations high for what a wonderful day it will be snowed in and then it doesn't go according to plan and we are disappointed and frustrated. i have been there so many times. you still found an opportunity to do something fun that you knew would bring joy to your children... you didn't throw in the towel and crawl under your covers. there is redemption!
i am glad you were able to make snow ice cream and end the day on a high note. you are a great mommy.
Love.
