Windchill Advisory

I guess I can't complain too much, we live in the upper Midwest and it is January.  But, it is cold.  Very Cold.  Tonight is supposed to be -20...yuck!
This weather was perfect for the day a co-worker and I had planned for the rest of our office, though.  I work in a financial aid office at a private college.  Which means FAFSA season is right around the corner.  We thought that combined with the dreary winter weather, meant we could all use a little sunshine ;) 
We invited everybody to lunch, but they had no idea what the plans were.  We have our own conference room and, well, we turned that into this...

My partner and I decided to add a little flare to the event...

A little bummed you can't see my pink sandals...

Our creative student worker also made flies and ants.  Have you been to a picnic where there aren't any of these little creatures?

Our menu was "summer" a.k.a. grilled cheese burgers, pasta salad, baked beans, chips, and pink lemonade.  Oh and desert was the best part.  We brought in candles and roasted marshmallows for S'mores.  We also made a little "bean bag" game to play while our burgers were grillin!

Wish all work days could be that much fun.  Well, like I said it is FREEZING out, so I'm going to go cuddle on the couch with my hubby and my puppy!

P.S.  Tomorrow we have our first appointment with our new Dr.  All sorts a feelings going through my head right now.  Another good reason to go cuddle with my 2 favorites ;)
