🎉 October’s dress-up days are here, and it’s time to bring your A-game (and maybe your pajamas)!
Check this out:
🛌 **Monday - 10/6 – Pajama Day:** Because who doesn’t want to look professional *and* nap-ready?
🎒 **Tuesday - 10/7 – Anything But a Backpack Day:** Use a laundry basket, a cereal box, or your pet (just kidding, don’t carry your dog)!
🕵️♂️ **Wednesday - 10/8 – Secret Service Day:** Wear black and pretend you’re on a super serious spy mission… or just really good at avoiding homework.
👯♀️ **Thursday - 10/9 – Twin/Duo or Group Costume Day:** Convince your friends to join your “we-actually-planned-this” squad.
🌈 **Friday - 10/10 – Color War Day:**
Get ready for laughs, style, and maybe a few questionable costume choices. Who’s in? 🙋♂️🙋♀️

**Gotta give credit where credit is due… a couple of my seniors (with help from their instructor!) GOT ME.**
Yesterday, I was chatting with their instructor while they were unpacking materials for their senior seminar course. Of course, there was bubble wrap in the packaging—and naturally, they started popping it. I asked them (nicely!) to stop popping the bubbles.
I left the room *fully expecting* they’d try something. When I got back to my office, I thoroughly checked the room for their senior prank. Nothing. All clear.
…Until I sat down and rolled toward my desk.
They had wrapped the **wheels of my chair** in bubble wrap. 🤦♂️💥
Well played. They got me. 😄
