Halloween 2008

This was the first year that I worked Halloween at the Post Office. I didn't dress up (maybe next year) A few of my co-workers did, and got pretty creative. It was fun to deliver mail and see everyone who did dress up. I deliver to a lot of businesses and most of the offices had people who dressed up. Here are the pictures of my co-workers who did dress up. Which is your favorite?







We went to Ammon's work for their Halloween extravaganza later that day! The whole company decorates each of their departments in theme. Each department is given a budget and then they choose a theme, Ammon's department chose Ninja Turtles. They had the Ninja Mobil, flashing lights (they had turned all the lights out) and everyone in costume! They really go all out. They each vote on the best department and the winning department splits $5000! This is a company that loves Halloween. We got to walk through all the departments, they have three buildings (2 floors each) so it took a couple hours. They had tons of candy for the kids to go Trick or Treating.

Here is the gang walking through an enchanted forest!
You can see a pink dragon's tail in the background!
Ammon is in his Ninja Costume, the rest of us are just regular Joe's


You can see the leaves on the floor, some departments had straw and other floor covering,
nothing was over looked, right down to the tiny details.



This is Candy Mountain. If you went through it there was a bucket of candy.




Here is Ammon, Jillian & Grace next to a Gingerbread House
You could take a piece of Candy off of the house!


Here is a cave with a dragon (the eyes would light up) and a skeleton.
They had cute and scary themes.


These are lollipops in the Candy Land department!


They really went all out. I wish I got more pictures.
One department did the Wizard of Oz theme, another had a Football theme
(Where they laid real sod inside), another did Ghost Busters,
and there was a wild west town! And More!
I can't imagine the clean up, but it was a lot of fun!

It's hard to imagine that the areas we walked through are usually office's and desks!

Thanks Ammon for inviting us to come join in the fun!


Here are my cute nieces'
Grace as a Kitty &
Eliza as Princess Jasmine
I should have got a close up picture of Eliza's shoes,
they curl up at the toes! -so cute!

I might need copies of those pictures. Grace really enjoyed looking at them. For the last picture, she told me it was Eliza "and baby" since you can see Eliza's belly button!

Wow, I wish we lived close by and could have walked through Ammon's office with you. Sounds like you had a fun Halloween. Love Grace and Eliza's costumes!
