"Look Brandon, I made your favorite cookies!" I announce.
He walks over to the oven. "Oh. Baller! (translation: Cool) Can I have one?"

Did you go all-out and bake BOTH kinds?
Nope. Just the pumpkins. Although, the ghosts are in the fridge for the next time I decide to go all out. :)
Given half the chance, I'm quite certain my boys would go ga-ga over ghosts and pumpkins in their cookies. Especially since I don't make cookies for them at all anymore. Instead, if they want a treat, they ask for an olive, sometimes a pickle. Weird, huh?
My son loves those cookies! He never forgets to remind me about the time, two years ago, when one of those cookies slid off the cookie sheet onto the element of my oven, and shorted it out. We had to call the fire department to come and get the smoke out of our house, and also turn off all of the power to our house to get the oven to turn off. My six-year-old tells this story to everyone we ever meet. He's quite impressed that "Mommy set the oven on fire!"
Setting your oven on fire with a cookie takes talent! Do you stick a safety foil under the cookie sheets when you bake now?
