Work Party


This post is a little late but I decided better late then never! There was a work party the day before Halloween last month, everyone dressed up and there were games and treats. It turned out to be really fun, everyone at work gets along really well so it felt more like friends getting together and having a party instead of just a plain old work party.


Dave dressed up as an Italian Chef, and it turned out great! We made a fake pizza for him to hold, got him a huge fake mustache and he stuffed his belly with a pillow to get that 'Italian Chef' look! We pulled this costume together the night before the party but everyone loved it and he ended up winning first place in the costume contest!


One of the games that was played was bobbing for apples! David (my brother) went first, it was the first time he has ever played and he ended up doing really well. But this game ended up getting really intense and people got very competitive!


I kept yelling 'go all the way in!' and 'you have to go completely under to win!' to everyone who played the game and finally someone listened... (I honestly didn't think anyone would do it!)


I held the stop watch to determine who would was the fastest . The winning time ended up being 1 second! Mike (my brother-in-law) and Nick from work ended up both coming in at the same time and tying!



I just wore an old Cubs Jersey and Cap and went as a baseball player to the party (next year I am thinking a couples costume for Dave and I... I gave him warning, so I better start thinking now to make sure it is good!)

There we a few other games and a lot of fun, the party was a big hit!
I hope everyone had a
Happy Halloween!

Very nice pictures! You did a good job capturing the essence of the party as well. :-)

Looks like great fun! I also really like Dave's costume. He looks good with an Italian chef's mustache. Maybe a new look for Dave?

Nice job- I like how you wrote this up! The costumes are great. I couldn't have pictured Dave as a fat chef, so I'm glad you posted pictures!

It looks like you had such a fun time. I love Dave's costume. I'm totally impressed you designed it the night before. Way to go.

Or you could be a catholic nun and a catholic priest (in honor of Dave's ancestors who were Catholic). Your pics of the lady bobbing for apples and of Dave the fat Italian Chef made me laugh a lot. Thanks! I needed that! You two are so cool...LOve, Mom (Joan)
