Pinky was pretty happy to be involved in the gut removal vs. previous years where she watched from a distance or completely was appauled by the destruction of the innocent pumpkins.

I&#8217;ve never heard of this before, but since we&#8217;ve moved here, we&#8217;ve been ghosted.  Apparently, you are supposed to sneak up to someone&#8217;s door and anonymously drop off a sign saying &#8220;Boo! You&#8217;ve been ghosted&#8221; or something to that effect, then leave a little treat for your unsuspecting target to find in the morning.  We made these little lollipop ghosts and pushed them into a piece of styrofoam to keep them up right.  To add to the silliness, we included little &#8220;trees&#8221; from a bush outside our house and a stone with R.I.P. written on it.  Then, we quietly placed them, with previously mentioned sign and a small bag of candy, at our neighbors&#8217; and friends&#8217; houses.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ruleroftheelves\/5134407918\/\" title=\"Ghosting by ruleroftheelves, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm2.static.flickr.com\/1356\/5134407918_4de4a0485c_z.jpg\" width=\"427\" height=\"640\" alt=\"Ghosting\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Another item on <a href=\"http:\/\/ruleroftheelves.com\/?p=479\">our list<\/a> was to create some spooky art.  Pinky helped me trace the template for these <del datetime=\"2010-11-01T03:19:23+00:00\">cute<\/del> creepy little bats onto black cardstock, then I cut them out and we taped them to the wall.

The costume is almost entirely homemade using the magic of stitch witchery.  I must confess that having a working sewing machine would have made things a lot easier, but it turned out adorably cute nonetheless. And this girl collected so much candy that I&#8217;m sure we will have it coming out of our ears until Easter!<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pic on the left is 15\/52)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ruleroftheelves\/5133808863\/\" title=\"Little Red Riding Hood by ruleroftheelves, on Flickr\"><img src=\"http:\/\/farm2.static.flickr.com\/1188\/5133808863_f50da7098b_z.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" alt=\"Little Red Riding Hood\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Good night!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hope that everyone had a safe and happy Halloween this year.
