Bear with me!

Halloween 2018, Charleston, SC 

It's time to start dragging your skeletons out of the closet and posing them around the yard. 

I even got a head start on the hospital pumpkin decorating contest by photocopying pictures and gluing them on a (fake) pumpkin. I can't do that much work on something that it going to rot.

Ms. M & M, Pumpkin Decorating Contest, Charleston, SC   

I try to make sure we continue our pumpkin decorating contest no matter how busy we are because I work with some incredibly creative folks. It is a popular choice contest and there is another chance to cast a vote tomorrow so we can't announce winners yet. Thanks to my volunteers who came in today to staff the table. Ms. M & M is bringing in a lot of votes so far. 

One of my favorites below is by the Engineering Department who did a portrait of their boss and the most frequent word they hear coming out of his mouth. Luckily he does have a sense of humor and posed with his namesake. Heheheh. Thanks to everyone who participated!

Surgical Scene by Rehab Services

Each year in October I see a spike in blog hits and can track most of them to people searching for ideas for pumpkin decorating contests in hospitals. They land on my blog because clearly I have the most oddly talented coworkers in the world. Here is a full surgery scene decorated by our Rehab Department. Check out the close up of the top surgeon pumpkin below with his aspirating syringe of pumpkin pie filling.

Pumpkin Decorating Ideas

Hospital Pumpkin Decorating Contest, Charleston, S.C.

I don't usually recycle blog posts but it is apparent from the hits on this site that what people are looking for are pumpkin decorating ideas and some of them are specifically looking for hospital competitions. So, here you go - I am going to make it easier. These are our winners from a couple of years ago (dated by Octo-Mum) and we are pretty darn good! I especially like the "P" section rather than the C Section delivery pumpkin. Heheh.

Go forth and win your contest and let me know in comments if you come up with something brilliant.

Pumpkin Decorating Contest

Clearly a hospital pumpkin decorating contest! The surgical scene was titled a "P" Section rather than a C Section. Don't you love Octo-Mum Pumpkin?!
