Trick or Treat!

Each year on Halloween the departments at my office compete to see who can come up with the best Halloween costumes. Only it's almost never only about the costumes. Winning at Halloween requires that you go all out and decorate your office space as well as yourself. In a bid to win this year my department decided to dress up as characters from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (the newer, Johnny Depp version). We then proceeded to decorate our entire department to look as much like the Chocolate Factory as possible. Below are pictures of the madness that ensued!

A "before" shot.

Our Manager Allie (along with all the other managers in the building) cooked breakfast for everyone that morning. It was amazing and we had food for days!


Welcome to Wonka Land!


We had a bubble machine to make things fun.


Our trail of peppermints through our crazy colored grass.


Wonka Bars and Lollipops on the walls.


Lollipops growing out of the crazy grass.


A chocolate fountain of course!


Some spray painted gourds just for fun!


The whole crew. Back row (from left to right) Karen as Violet Beauregard, Jason as Charlie, Lesley as Veruca Salt, Andy as Willy Wonka, Nate as Mike Teevee, Darin as Grandpa, Enrique as Augustus Gloop. Front row (from left to right) all the Oompa Loompas, Rita, me, Dania, Kiki, and Kristen.

Jesson wanted to get in on the fun so he tried on my costume!
