🎃👻 Yesterday, we had a spooktacular time decorating pumpkins for our October staff meeting! 🍂🧡

Now it’s YOUR turn to play! 🕵️‍♀️🎃

Each staff member has been assigned a mystery emoji, but here’s the trick… the emojis don’t match their pumpkins! 👀

Heather = 🦄 , Amy = 🌻 , Shalee = 🐸, Rozlyn = 🍕, and Emily = 🦋

Can you guess which staff member decorated each pumpkin? Leave the emojis next to your guesses in the comments (ex: football = 🍕) 🤔
