Weekend Frivolities

It's hard to believe that we're already into November and well into it at that. Time Flies when you're having fun I guess. Unfortunately, Sunday nights are often pretty morose, but I suppose it's always difficult to get back to the work week when you've had such a killer weekend!

Thursday night Matt, Doris, and I drove to CO Springs for the So You Think You Can Dance tour. Doris had given me the tickets for my birthday, and finally time to redeem them came. It was awesome! Friday night was another awesome birthday gift redemption, Matt, Greg, Joni, and I had a most stellar dinner at Vesta Dipping Grill - loved it. Saturday consisted of a jaunt to Boulder to enjoy the beautiful weather, window shopping, people watching, etc... and some hiking in Estes Park. That night we went to an Indian Cooking Class that Doris had purchased at the Denver Health Foundation Gala. The food and company were all fabulous!! After which, Matt and I went to a modernism exhibit at the Vance Kirkland museum (open late and free for arts week, along with many other museums). Great weekend overall, and hopefully we're rejuvenated for the work week.

Okay okay, I just wanted to show off the Cheshire Cat jack O'lantern I carved. It was actually done two or so weeks ago.

Let's eat!

Hiking in Estes

Beautiful!

I wanted to post a picture of Kratos the God of War so that y'all could see who Matt was supposed to be for Halloween. It's from a video game.

Halloween Festivities Galore!

Molly Brown House Museum presents Victorian Horrors = sweet!!! Saturday night was spent listening to ghoulish, turn of the century, short stories from an acting troupe at the Molly Brown house. The ambiance, acting, cider and cookies (from next door) were all spectacular and well worth the small fee! This is going on the Halloween To-Do list for years to come!

I'll get you my pretty

Matt was Charlie Chaplin for Halloween as a kid, for $3.95 he could bring it back as an adult.

Thinkin of growing out the 'stache - comments?

Too realistic.. coincidence?

Individual chicken pot pies with harvest leaves and pumpkins for added flair.

Chocolate Jack O'Lantern cake - heavy on the brows

Creepy man lady at the 13th door haunted house

Delicious spread of sugar cookies that Matt made for his Sunday School class.

Posing with the delightful treats (and lighted apron)

We spent Saturday at Elitch's Fright Fest (Six Flags) - who knew if you arrived close to the opening hour (noon), you can run right onto all of the rides. We had a ball.

Too cheap to make the actual purchase - figured a photo of a photo was just as good.

Yummy spider web cookies that Matt made for my co-workers to say thank you for volunteering for the Key To The Cure (event that I planned).

And there's more... stay tuned!

Hip hip Hooray - Halloween is here!!

October has arrived and is in full force at the Jones household! Beginning October 1 we busted out the Halloween decor creating the mood. Friday night we saw Halloween Dreams at The Vintage Theatre (not fabulous, but decent and local, small scale, live theatre is always fun!). Saturday we did some Halloween home decor shopping, then to the Wizard's Chest for costume ideas. Following which we cruised to the Harvest Festival - which consisted of opportunities to make your own scarecrow, hayrides, a pumpkin patch, stilt walking, sack races, kissing booths and lots of delicious Fall treats (kettle corn, home made root beer, apple cinnamon donuts, etc...).
