Halloween Activities!

I have to say, that we had the most awesomely perfect 'Halloween' weather this year. It was cloudy, as it rained earlier in the day, but then was crisp and windy. And, lots of leaves were falling everywhere, which was so perfect! It was great!

So, the main Halloween activities this year were our work Halloween party and pumpkin carving. Here are some pics from the past couple of days!


At 3 pm, we didn't have any more meetings at work, no one was coming in, and there weren't many people in the office. So I transformed my all black into a lady bug! It was fun. After seeing me costumed, one of the partners went and put on his Elvis costume! I'll have to get that picture... Anyways, we had a little Halloween party at work. Here I am with Christine, Elizabeth, and Lisa (L to R). I'm the receptionist, and these are the 3 admins. They're awesome.

We carved pumpkins! Here we are with our pumpkins before the carving. Let's give a shout out to the "Yes on 8" poster behind us...

Successfully carved! Nate stuck with a traditional face, and mine is an "Autumn" theme. Nate said that he's learned something about me--I love Autumn. It's true. I've been obsessed with butternut squash and pumpkin recipes (if you need recipes, let me know) this season, and I just love the leaves and the colors and everything! So, my pumpkin says "autumn" and then has leaves cut out and poking out.
In all their Halloween glory! Hooray for Halloween!

I love the autumn pumpkin! The leaves sticking out are great. I love this time of year too! I haven't gotten to experience fall yet, since San Diego doesn't ever change and I miss it so much!

YAY for Halloween is right!!! And yes, your poster definitely needs a shout out!! I've been a bit nervous to check the results, but let's not let that dampen the spirit of fall!!! Do you have a good soup recipe?? I'd LOVE one!
