Today I felt like I just couldn't stand another day of the same old normal routine. We needed some excitement. Something much less than a trip to Disneyland but much more than the old trick game called "let's see how many toys we can pick up in 10 minutes"

 

So we packed up the girls and headed to a place called Shave It - a snow cone shop that offers all flavored syrups in both sugar and non-sugar offerings. 

 

Both girls had HUGE snow cones topped with sugar-free Black Cherry syrup.  

 

They were so excited you would have thought we HAD taken them to Disneyland.

 

 

 

Which got me thinking...why the heck don't I have a snow cone bar at my house?

 

DD thinks I'm nuts, but I'm looking into getting a professional ice shaver and ordering up some snolite sugar-free syrups so that we can whip up tasty carb-free treets 24 hours a day.

 

I've got my eye on the Hatsuyuki Cube Ice Shaver HC-8E. With 1/3 HP Motor, this bad boy can shave 6 lbs of ice per minute. I'll call her Hatsy and charge the neighborhood kids $5.00 for a snow cone and donate all the proceeds to Faustman so she can find a cure for this damned disease. I'll invite all of our T1D friends over and let them go hog wild with snow cones as big as their faces.

 

I have so many grand plans for Hatsy.

 

 

 

Hatsy would look great wrapped up in a big, red bow under our Christmas Tree this year.
