Halloween

This week Ian and I have enjoyed some Halloween activities.  We carved pumpkins with our friends Allison and Sarah.

Here are the finished results....

Last night we dressed up for a Halloween party with our friends.  Thank you to the Southwest Airlines magazine for the idea!  Any guesses as to what we were?

If you are interested...

In case you are interested... the business (Sculptures In Ice) we have been trying to start up is now on Facebook and Twitter.  You can find us on Twitter with the name IcedSculptures.  On Facebook, our page is sculpturesinice.  You can visit our website by clicking on the Sculptures In Ice button on the right of this blog.

In case you are interested... Sculptures In Ice sells molds you can put in your freezer to create professional-looking ice sculptures.  We currently have ten different ice sculpture molds to choose from and two more in production right now.  They are really fun decorating ideas for parties and weddings.

So.... if you want to help our little business out, find us on Facebook and Twitter so you can receive all the latest news about our products!  Here is what they look like.

And.... In case you are interested.... here is a fun Halloween party idea using the pumpkin mold.

Freeze the pumpkin mold with orange soda.  Once frozen, place ice sculpture in a cauldron full of orange soda.  Plastic spiders, plastic witch fingers, and dry ice can be added.  

No Evidence

Ian and I had such a fun weekend celebrating both of our birthdays and sadly this picture is the only evidence we have of our weekend adventures!

What you are looking at is a picture of the most delectable french fries ever made- french fries made with truffle oil and topped with fresh parmesan cheese and parsley.  My mouth is salivating just looking at them right now!  Yumm!  They come from a new gourmet hamburger restaurant called Larkburger in Colorado.  We ate these (and a very expensive burger) on the way up to Sedalia to camp overnight.  


While camping we got to try out a new game called Appletters and watched the movie, Waking Ned Divine.  I made my first flourless chocolate cake with a raspberry sauce (thanks to Ian's mom for the great recipe) and we took it up with us to celebrate Ian's birthday.  We really enjoyed being in the mountains and camping for one of the last times this season.        


Ian surprised me this morning on my birthday and stayed home from work (which means he delayed his flight to California a day) so we could spend the day together!  To start the day off, we got to play tennis with my mom and dad.  Tonight we had a picnic dinner with food from my favorite restaurant at a nearby park.  What a great weekend!
