Another week has flown on by in the Morgan family. This
weekend we took a little break from work, school, and prepping for PA school
interviews to celebrate our first married Halloween. We were invited to a
costume party, a pizza party, and a few other shindigs, but we decided to spend
a little one-on-one time together. Aw, cute!
Our exciting Halloween extravaganza began with some pumpkin
carving on the tile section of our apartment floor. Heather first carved a Mike
Wyzowski pumpkin, while Eric tried to recreate Jack from The Nightmare Before
Christmas. Side note: Eric hasn’t ever seen that movie, mostly because Tim
Burton is really weird. It was recently announced that he will be directing a
new Mary Poppins movie. That’s unfortunate. Hope everyone likes Johnny Depp
singing about a spoon full of sugar. Anyways, back to Halloween … After getting our creative juices
flowing with our first 2 pumpkins, we used our remaining 3 pumpkins to carve
Olaf the snowman from Frozen. He looked pretty awesome, even though his poor
head was about 3 sizes too big. We took the pumpkins out on the balcony and lit
candles inside them for the whole world to see. We stacked the Olaf pumpkins on
top of the garbage can propped up on a chair, but he toppled over after not too
long.
We didn’t get a single trick-or-treater, which was a shame
because we had over 2 desk drawers worth of toys and prizes that we’ve
accumulated that we were ready to give away to anyone who knocked on our door.
Sorry kids, instead of some googly eye glasses or silly string, all you’ll get
this year is diabetes. Maybe next year.
After filling up on a pumpkin shaped pizza with a pepperoni
face from Papa Murphy’s and some crazy bread, we used some free tickets from
Don to go to Castle of Chaos in Taylorsville. It was our first haunted house
together. We had a good time as
assorted weirdos startled us and made regurgitating noises in our ears. We went
through a cool spinning hallway with a creepy lady hanging upside down in it,
crawled through a tunnel on the floor, and ended the night sliding out into the
parking lot to a chorus of chainsaw-wielding scary guys. All in all a great
Halloween and hopefully the first of many exciting ones to come.
