Nate decided to carve Texas A&M's logo into his pumpkin and I chose to do Mickey Mouse. So you can see my cheat sheet in the picture...I can't draw Mickey Mouse free hand. And the final product:
I traced on the ATM for Nate, but you can still see the marks I made-obviously I didn't make the marks very well. It's harder to draw on a pumpkin than a piece of paper. And some of the letters kind of fell apart... Our apartment complex did a competition for our pumpkins so we turned mine in and I won third place! Which means we get $25 off next months rent.
We didn't really dress up too much for Halloween. I did go to a "Witches Night Out" on Friday night. A few of the girls in our ward got together and we made caramel apples and told "scary stories." It was a lot of fun. Then we went to our ward's Trunk or Treat where we ran out of candy in about 20 minutes. There were a ton of kids!
Nate's highlight of the week was having President George Bush Sr. come to one of his classes on Friday.
He and his wife Barbara came and Nate said they were very nice. He got to shake both of their hands and President Bush even got his teacher to let them out of class an hour early and told their professor that they should all get A's. I don't know if that second part will happen, but that would be nice.
We are getting ready for another crazy week. Nate has a big paper due and I will continue my job hunt. Actually, I am going bowling with my work tomorrow. They do lots of fun activities like volleyball and other sports, but I don't feel like the work is very challenging-basically anyone could do my job! Enough complaining though, I am grateful to have a job!
Ahhh, what a neat experience. How classy that everyone dressed up. Barbara Bush is a favorite first lady of mine.
ReplyDeleteLove the Mickey pumpkin and trophy too, what fun!
