Friday night at the Office

Last Friday was a day of rejoicing in the DeClercq household. We got home from work and had just started making dinner when the doorbell rang. We pushed the buzzer to let in whoever had stopped by to see us. It could have been anyone since half of our friends don't have phones yet. When we didn't hear the door open, Adam went down to investigate. When he opened the door, there was a box sitting on our welcome mat. And what was in the box?

This was in the box...

We did a happy dance. Amazon said it wouldn't arrive for another three weeks! It took every ounce of restraint we had to refrain from plopping down on the couch for 20 hours of television. Instead we got dressed and went back to school.

What? Back to school on a Friday night? Indeed. But we went in costume. It was Fall Party. A big deal at BFA. The costumes are a big deal. So, since we are new, we couldn't just go as any old thing. It had to be good. We went as the cast of.... the Office. And it was good.

Here we are...

The students loved it. When they announced "the Office" the crowd literally went wild. It was a great feeling. The theme was Black and White. So, technically, we were "the Office in black and white". I braved the "consequences" that were threatened with the pink sweater. But, Kelly would never be caught dead in just black and white.

And in case you are wondering, we are planning an Office premier party for tomorrow night.
