Ghosted!

We were trying to get our pumpkins finished tonight, way behind schedule as usual! As I was cutting out the bat mouth Kt asked for, the doorbell rang. How typical!! 7:30 pm, who would be coming to our door? Em ran to see and came back... it was no one! I looked at Kt and we both said, "GHOSTED!!" She ran back out and found a bag of goodies with the ghost sign and a note.

Each year since we've been here our neighborhood has done Ghosting. This year it freaked Em out because her older sister and a friend convinced her there was a ghost in our basement. They got in a HUGE amount of trouble for this, but Em is still pretty creeped by anything ghostlike. Since she didn't quite understand that a real ghost did not leave this bag of treats for her, we quickly returned the ghosting favor.

So, in the middle of carving pumpkins, we stopped, got all the Halloween candy that was "hidden" in the front coat closet out. We put together two ghost bags of our own, copied the ghost and ghosting directions and the girls quickly "ghosted" two of our neighbors. It was fun for them, and a great alternative to mischief night (a wonderfully fun even from my past!).

I still need to finish those pumpkins!!
