Slushees from Inside Out

This is the easy night.

1 pgk of any flavor Kool-aid
1 cup of sugar
24 oz of water
8 cups of ice

Now, first I want to say these measurements are more approximate than exact. I have a pitcher I use for Kool-Aid normally and I wanted half the amount of water I usually do, to make it more of a syrup than a drink. Then I filled our blender with ice, it holds 8 cups.

  1. Mix sugar and Kool-Aid pack together in pitcher
  2. Fill pitcher with 24 oz of water. Mix till dissolved.
  3. Fill blender with ice and pour in Kool-Aid.
  4. Blend on high till slushee consistency. (think margarita style)
  5. Pour into glasses and serve with a straw.

This was super easy and fun. Since the freeze brain part with the slushee is early in the movie we were still drinking them when we got to that part. Tori has loved this movie since it came out and she was 6. I realized when we were watching it this time, Tori is now the age of Riley (the main character). We talked about the brain and hormones and the changes that happen at her age. I may have had a my baby is not such a baby anymore moment.

That's why I love this movie. It is not just focused on Riley dealing with her changes but the personifications in her head dealing with it, much like parents do. It's hard to see someone you think you know suddenly change. My oldest turns 20 this year!! I don't feel old enough to have a 20 year old. Having children 9 years a part kind of stretched that “I'm an old mom” time out but I am embracing it more here in my 40th year around the sun. I'm just glad my 11 year old still likes to do these silly projects with me.
