This picture is documented proof that Alyssa's hair is never done and that Ethan lives in either a Onesie or his pajamas until we go out in public. But it is also very cute proof that today we made snowcones!
Every time I'm pregnant Brian gets me a new ice crushing device. It's great because now I have an ice cream maker and an ice crusher and I used to have a super cool smoothie maker that broke after just a couple of times using it.
Well, Alyssa heard about snow cones from her babysitter and she's been asking for them ever since. Today we finally bit the bullet (or shall I say, crunched the ice?) and made them.
They were great! Here's the recipe I used for the syrup:
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup water
1 package of Kool Aid
The instructions said to bring the sugar and water to a boil, and then add the Kool Aid, but I added the Kool Aid right away before I could read that far. For a Red Robin size cup we used about 1/4 cup of syrup.
Anyway, here's to summer fun and many more days of snow cones!

Snowcones are right up Mike's alley! I'll have to show him the recipe!
Love Snowcones! Remember when you could buy them for a quarter on friday's in elementary school- I thought it was so cool.
Yeah, I do remember that. And popcorn, too. Do they do that anymore at schools?
