BrainStorm, Inc Halloween

I forgot to write about another highlight of Halloween this year.  As many of you know, Joshua has had some issues with hitting his head lately.  Last year at a laser tag activity at work, he flipped around to avoid a shot and ran directly into a corner, splitting his forehead open in a vertical line right down the center.  My brother Greg sewed him up in my parents' family room and the gash has healed remarkable well over the last year.  Then when we were in Mexico we went snorkeling in a cenote and Josh bashed his head on a stalactite under water.  Then the next day at the beach he hit it again on a board sticking out of a cabana.  One of the greatest misfortunes of these events is that they all happened in the presence of his friends from work. So, on Halloween Joshua arrived at work as usual.  He said hello to his boss and noticed that his forehead looked shinny.  Then a little later another coworker entered the office wearing one of those wigs that makes you look bald with Band-Aids on his forehead.  Josh thought that was kind of weird but didn't think much of it.  Then when he saw a third coworker with Band-Aids on her forehead it suddenly dawned on him...the entire office dressed up as Josh for Halloween! It is nice to be able to laugh at yourself now and then, especially when you know you deserve to be made fun of!

What a funny office costume theme. I'm so glad Josh is so good-natured to not only take the physical hits with flair, but to take the teasing co-workers with a grain of salt - not salt in his head wounds, though (I hope)! Are you guys tuning into the game tomorrow?
