Fun Halloween Ideas!

So I picked up this pamphlet the other day at my local Macey's grocery store, entitled:

Halloween Tricks and Treats with....

Penguin Brand

Dry Ice

I thought I would share some with you!

So according to the pamphlet penguin dry ice..."adds the perfect touch to an eerie Halloween party...you can change the atmosphere from uninspired to spine-chilling." Doesn't is sound awesome?

Idea # 1 - The Witches Brew

1.First off you must dress as a dreadful witch in order for this idea to be effective.

2. Fill a plastic cauldron with .5 gallons of grape juice, 1 can pineapple juice, and .5 gallons of EXTRA PULPY orange juice.

3. Stir mixture together with a broom (preferably one that belongs to a witch)

4. Use some tongs to add small pieces of PBDI to the mixture.

5. Chant or perform some sort of malicious curse

6. Your witches' brew is now ready to serve to unsuspecting victims.

7. For little extra flavor, add some worms, real or gummy, it's all up to you.

8. If even further improvement of flavor is required, alcohol, in any form may be added.

9. Glow sticks may also be added, but not consumed.

Idea #2 - The Wizards Portion (Invite Harry over)

1. Different because a man makes it.

2. One gallon of water into a large container.

3. Followed by two cups of sugar.

4. One ounce of root beer extract.

5. Dissolve sugar, by stirring with magic wand, or wooden spoon. Whichever you prefer.

6. Add PBDI.

7. Mixture will become magically bubbly, serve.

Idea # 3 - Ghostly Fog - idea does not include instructions for making real ghosts.

1. If in need of an atmosphere of mystery, and fright, read on.

2. Hot water in a crockpot, of large proportions

3. Turn crock pot on, or keep warm over fire, or burning stake.

4. Add PBDI to create fog of the ghostly kind.

5. Serve refreshments and food.

6. For real fog, see weather service.

Idea # 4 - Smoking Pumpkin and Spooky Graveyard

1. Add PBDI to a small container with hot water.

2. Place inside a carved pumpkin

3. Place PBDI to a pan, add hot water

4. Place behind tombstones

5. Dead bodies and coffins are not included.

Four fun ways to use dry ice. All of which sound quite terrifying. Spooky....

Mess

I know my blog is a mess right now, but there are only two days until Halloween, and then I promise I will fix it.

And then you will be able to read it once again.

Then and Now

Then...

And now...

Happy Anniversary to us!!

October 28, 2005.

I think we still look pretty good!

Congrats to my brother and Hollie, who got married in October! Its a great month. The last two pics were taken at their wedding. Unfortunately we didn't make it home with any pictures of the bride and groom. There are, however, quite a few pictures of Tanner in his tux. Hmmm...strange.

School

Andrew told me this evening that I could quit school if I could find five people who agree with me, that I should.

Top 5 reasons I should no longer go to school:

1). Seven years is a long time

2). I am not getting smarter. I do believe my intelligence has plateaued.

3). It is not making me any money now, nor will it in the future. A history degree is good for nothing.

4). There is no where to park.

5). The world is going to end in 2012. So that's a whole year, I will have to enjoy my piece of paper on the wall.

I'm going for six...

6). Did I mention I have to take 4 semesters of a foreign language?

So I need five people to agree and I am set. Thanks for helping me decide my future.

2nd Annual Pumpkin Decorating

Remember the pumpkin from last year titled:

Bubonic Rat Pumpkin

It raised money for United Way through a silent auction at work.

It's a beauty.

Aren't those rats terrifying?

Well this year I went for something a little different:

This one is titled:

Rotting Corpse Flower Pumpkin

Complete with sparkles and spider webs.

However this pumpkin is presently residing at work, not participating in the silent auction. Due to the fact that I missed the deadline. There were some major communication issues between myself and the main office. So they don't get my pumpkin this year. Their loss. Obviously.
