Halloween

There is one holiday that truly reigns supreme in the workplace. Christmas? Valentines Day?
No!
It's Halloween!! It is the one day at DCFS that our office really gets into things, and just decides to have fun. It takes a little bit of planning (all client contact should really be limited to phone calls and emails) - and definitely no court. But if you can get your schedule right - who doesn't like to go to work as a rotting corpse from Alabama (yes - a joke referencing the loss of my career "life" as I head to Alabama)

I owe a big thanks to Kirk for coming to work and doing my makeup. Man, I'm hot!

My love for Halloween has grown as I've been a supervisor. Its such a great excuse for team bonding. And let's face it, in my line of work - my workers need to take a little break from the stress and heartache of daily crisis. Here is a dessert my worker, Beth (a new addition to my team), made for our potluck! Read the headstones... they are hilarious!

Each year we have a contest to see who has the best team office space decorations. This year we made our little annex into a graveyard! I really do need a before an after shot. It's hard to tell how truly amazing this transformation was. It's hard to see from this picture, but the orange lights are actually a tree. There are gravestones and leaves all over the room.

This is a coffin that Jaren and my father helped me make. It was super creepy. A little weird to transport around I might add. You should see the looks you get on the road when you have a coffin in your car.

Ruben (right) was our undertaker. The rest of the girls were dead cowgirls (like me). Unfortunately my camera died right before the team photo. Boo Hiss!
