Halloween Pumpkin Cookies and a Little Haunting....

Its a tradition in our family to make sugar cookies each year for Halloween. I just couldn't wait till the end of the month, so Kaleb and I put on our chef's hats and went to work making these beautiful pumpkins.




One thing that I started this year was a Phantom Ghost in our neighborhood. You secretly deliver some goodies, along with this poem and a clipart picture of a cute ghost:

The Phantom Ghost has come to town,

To leave you some goodies, I see you have found.
If you do not wish a curse to fall,
Continue this greeting, this Phantom's call.

First, post this Phantom where it can be seen,
And leave it there until Halloween.
This will scare other Phantoms who may visit.

Be sure to participate, you don't want to miss it!

Second, make two treats & two copies of this Ghost with a grin
Deliver them to two neighbors where this Phantom hasn't been
Don't let them see you, be sneaky, no doubt …
And make sure they put their Phantom Ghost out!

Next, you have only one day to act, so be quick!
Leave it at doors where the Phantom hasn't hit.
Deliver at dark when there isn't much light...
Ring the doorbell and run, and stay out of sight!!

And last, but not least, come join in the season.
Don't worry, be happy, you need no good reason.
This is all in good fun and we are just trying to say...
HAPPY HALLOWEEN AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!!

I used this cute clipart for Neighbors to hang in their window or on their door to let everyone know the Phantom Ghost has Haunted their home:

I love getting into the Holiday spirit!
