You've Been Spooked

Our neighborhood has a tradition for Halloween -as I am sure most of your neighborhoods do. They doorbell ditch 2 families with some treats and an orange sign with a ghost on it and instructions. So, when you receive a treat with the orange sings you are supposed to copy the flier and make treats for 2 families that do NOT have the orange ghost posted in their window and doorbell ditch them. (Confused yet?)


A few nights ago Scott and I were getting settled in for the night and I went to turn off our yard lights. Well, as I approached my front door I heard what sounded like someone skateboarding in our driveway. Totally bizarre considering it was getting late and our neighborhood is mostly small kids. So I decided to peek outside and see what was going on. Our front door has a big window that we hate and we hung up some small curtains. So I swung the curtains aside and shoved my face against the glass to see who was skate boarding in my driveway. When I focused my eyes, I saw this mans face right in front of mine!



I was scared to death- to say the least and jumped back. I then realized it was my neighbor from across the street trying to doorbell ditch us some treats. So I swung the door open and both of us were just laughing and telling each other how badly we were scared. He was upset that I saw him dropping off the treats because it was supposed to be a secret but I took the delicious rice krispy treats anyway and told him not to worry about it.



The catch to this story: After my nice neighbor left and I was trying to tell my husband what happened in between all of my giggling... I realized that I just answered the door in my pajamas. With no bra on. Fabulous.
