Every year, Mr Surfer’s company organizes a Christmas family day at the office.
And while I don’t dread these events, it is a chaotic time. Think of forty kids running around an office floor full of computers, desks, boxes and every other company item forbidden for grubby little hands to touch. Not to mention the poor colleagues who weren’t part of the party and just actually wanted to get some work done. Yeah, good luck with that.
To be fair, a huge effort was made to make a corporate setting more kid-friendly.
An office desk was transformed into a cosy cubby house.
Which made up for the face painting that the boys stayed well clear of.
Unfortunately, they were also dubious of Santa.
Instead, they were more interested in getting right down to business. Β Future CEO, perhaps?
Or potential window cleaner?

What a great thing for the company to do. A chance for the children to see where the parents disappear to each day.

My girls love visiting daddy at work, which is at the school that they go to… They have their own shelf and highlighters to play with. Handy…

My experience with window washers were always incredibly gorgeous hunks, which your little guys are well on their way by the looks of it. Yet, they were wise enough to steer clear of face painting and Santa – if that ain’t CEO decision making, what is?
