Phantomed

So this past week I woke up early in the morning and opened the door to find a pleasant surprise sitting on our porch. It was a little plate of cinnamon rolls with a little poem and a picture of a ghost. The poem read:

The Phantom Ghost
The Phantom Ghost has come to town,
To leave some goodies as I see you've found.
If you do not wish a curse to fall,
Continue this greeting, this phantom call.
First, place this Phantom where it can be seen,
And leave it there 'til Halloween.
This will scare other Phantoms who may try to call,
Be sure to participate - you'll have a ball!
Second, make 2 treats, 2 Phantoms, and 2 notes like this,
Deliver them to 2 neighbors who might have been missed.
Don't let them see you, be sneaky and quick,
The hardest part is deciding whose house to pick.
Third, leave at the door where there is no light,
Ring the doorbell, run, stay out of sight.
Be happy, have fun and come join the season,
The best kind of tricks are the ones that are pleasin'.
And remember this one very important fact,
YOU ONLY HAVE ONE DAY TO ACT!

Then it also had a picture of a cute ghost that you hang on your door so that people know you have already been "phantomed."


So I made some cupcakes and made some orange and brown frosting to deliver to our neighbors. It was fun to see them put their ghosts up on their doors the next day.

It was really fun. Then two days later, on sunday morning, we found another plate this time with carrot cake on it and a poem much like the first but a little different. It had a picture of a "Boo" ghost (basically a ghost with a bubble coming from his mouth that says boo) that we need to put up in the window and we have more treats to deliver. Its so fun. If any of you are looking for a fun activity to do one evening this is a good one. You could start the Phantom in your neighborhood! :)
