We don't do much for Halloween. We allow the kids to dress up & trick-or-treat and we hand out candy. The kids go to a homeschool Harvest Party or an All-Saints Party on November 1st...
Today, both girls (& Mama) were sick with colds, so school was going along at an easy pace squeezed in between naps and doses of Motrin (I swear we should buy stock in that company - we buy an obscene amount in the winter.)
Then the doorbell rang. No one was at our door. A lunch bag was on the porch with 2 pieces of paper & candy in it. One piece of paper had an outline ghost with cute big eyes that said "You've Been Ghosted" and another piece with instructions to make 2 copies of each sheet and secretly "ghost" 2 neighbors. Then put the original "You've been ghosted sign" up on our front door and watch the neighborhood throughout the month to see how many homes get "ghosted." My kids went ballistic. For being sick they sure got excited. It was just adorable. So they're plotting who they can surprise (as soon as I get to the store for early Halloween candy - we always eat it if I buy it early and we have to get more.) It was such a silly little thing, but the kids were so animated for a "sick day." I wonder who did it to us.....
