When life gives you a polar vortex

 When life gives you a polar vortex, make snow cream.  I actually had never heard of snow cream until I was teaching middle school kids in North Carolina.  As tweens typically are, they were shocked at my ignorance of this Southern treat.   Fast forward too many years to the present, and my kiddos are smitten with snow cream.  Which is good because we are in a polar vortex.    I won't lie, when I heard we were going subzero, I was nervous.   But I figured we would all snuggle up and watch movies all day.  Then the DVD/CD player decided that it had played too much Harry Potter and there went my plans.  But it's all good we have snow cream.  And some insane person decided they should teach the children how to play recorders, so they have been practicing their tu-tu-tus and sounding like lovely little song birds all day.  We are warm, safe and happy, hope you are! Don't forget to turn up your volume!
