Pumpkin Carving Party

Last weekend my boss hosted a Pumpkin Carving Party at their home.  As Social Coordinator I proposed it as a fun fall activity since large groups of people tend to interact better when there is a clear task to perform and to talk about if conversation lulls.  Jeremy and I brought our huge stash of patterns and tools to contribute to the night, and I printed a Grumpy Cat pattern from the internet for a little pop culture fun.  I also decided to have a little fun with the Bun and cut a Jack O Lantern face into an orange tank top I snagged at Goodwill for $2.  My roundness definitely stretched it out more than I was anticipating, so the eyes were more round than triangles, and the two teeth were not as prominent, but it definitely came out more "cute " than "spooky," so I liked it.

Paired with the pumpkin earrings, I felt very appropriately dressed!

It was a potluck party, and my favorite offering was this little guy that Emily saw on Pinterest:

Gross but tasty!

Jeremy and I carved our pumpkins pretty quickly, being veterans and all, then had fun wandering around to others and giving out some tips.

This pumpkin had fun once.  It was awful.

We had a great time socializing with lots of coworkers and getting down with some fall fun.  It will be so sad when I have to let go of a lot of the party planning stuff once I'm significantly more busy with significantly more important things!
