When someone at the office sends you a meeting request and blocks off your calendar to decorate pumpkins, you decorate pumpkins! I can’t remember the last time I decorated pumpkins with my co-workers. I’m usually sitting at a table full of kids half my age ready to jump in whenever they need me to, so I’m glad I was able to pick out my own pumpkin and have some fun. I came prepared to roll up my sleeves, put in some arm muscle and get my hands dirty, but there was a better idea out on the table.

In front of us was a spread of animal face stickies, colored feathers and polka dots, creepy spiders and more. It was a tough decision between the red fox, the unicorn and the funny faces, but I had to go with the raccoon and his striped plushy tail. It was a fun way to take a break from the office, meet new faces and get into the Halloween spirit.

And if fluffy, cute unicorn faces weren’t enough to get you motivated, there were also pumpkin cupcakes, s’mores rice crispy treats and brownies.

Happy Halloween!
