Brooke's idea for family night this week was Ice Cream Sculptures. Tom and I were skeptical for obvious reasons: melting ice cream, cold hands, mess! Anyway, I bought the ice cream and Brooke couldn't contain herself. She was actually gleeful. So the rules were: hurry and sculpt something before it melts, you have to vote for one but not your own. So the fastest family night in history commenced in our kitchen.
This one is Tom's- we didn't get the picture until after he started eating it. It was a big smiley face!
This one was mine- I was trying to make a snowman but my hands were instantly freezing after trying to mould the ice cream with my bare hands. So it became a scary, ghoulish, ET-like creature.
Britney came up with a replica of the earth with the united states and Utah on the map- hence the licorice and Dot. However, the earth was hit with a massive meteor that astronomers now call "Spoon". They say it had a lot of metal in it. Anyway, we were able to photograph it right after the terrifying event.
Brooke decide to sculpt her ice cream into a pig. Can you see the ears, the eyes and the snout? And the swirly tail out the side? 
Well, Brooke was the grand champion. She has mad ice cream sculpting skills. I knew that one day she would make us proud.
