Happy Halloween from Around the Web

By , SparkPeople Blogger
Happy Halloween, dailySpark readers! I hope you're all enjoying your Halloween so far. What's does the crystal ball hold for you today? Candy? Trick-or-treating with the kids? Pumpkin carving? Perhaps a pumpkin-flavored treat?

To help you get through this spooky day with minimal temptations, I've got plenty of distractions, in the form of links.

But first, check out this awesome photo of the SparkPeople tech team all dressed up for Halloween:

That would be Bert, Wolverine, Walker Texas Ranger, Dave's Facebook page, and a talking computer. I'm not sure why only men at SparkPeople decided to dress up; many more people dressed up in the office last year!
