bff

Do you have anyone in your life that you swear could be your sister in another life? Or maybe by some wild chance the doctor accidentally separated you from your twin at birth, but you ended up finding each other a little later in life?

Well, Ella has that special someone in her life and her name is Mette. They L.O.V.E. each other, and just have the best time together.

This past weekend, we were lucky enough to spend the whole day and the whole night over at the Seversons! Both Carl and Jerry were out of town, so I packed up our whole crew and headed down the road to Clear Lake.

The kids had a fun time making home-made ice cream in the new ice cream ball. What is an ice cream ball you might ask . . . well let me show you.

You pour cream, sugar, vanilla (and in our case mini chocolate chips) in the middle of the ball. Then add a bunch of ice and rock salt into the outer part of the ball. Roll it around the floor as much as you can for the next 30 minutes and viola!! You get ice cream. Genius.

Then, I remembered something magical I saw on www.pintrest.com (my newest love) and decided we needed to make them to go with our ice cream. Chocolate chip cookie bowls!! The perfect place to put our ice cream in! So, we greased the bottom of a muffin pan and placed the dough on top.

. . . I think we may have put a little too much dough on each muffin bump. Thank goodness we put a "safety" pan on the bottom.

When we pulled them out, I thought we had we were in for something really special. I felt we had re-invented the waffle bowl and up graded it to a whole new level.

Boy was I wrong. We could not get those suckers out in one piece . . . we basically had to saw the cookies off the pan.




Oh well, we still had some cookie crumbs to put on top of our ice cream :)

Thanks Seversons for a great weekend!!
