Our favorite Halloween tradition is BOOing! (see last year) You make a simple “BOO” sign and put together a fun treat or goodie bag, then secretly put it on your neighbors’ door at night. Included is a fun poem which instructs them to do the same to two other neighbors. It’s a chain letter of fun! Before you know it your whole neighborhood is covered in BOO signs (unless you have a neighbor who returns your BOO… still in shock about that!!). It’s super fun for the kiddos (and parents).
We let the kiddos go crazy at the dollar store for the goodies and we did 6 BOOs to get a healthy start in our neighborhood.
We got our night camo on (aka washable black marker) and of course our Lids…
(side note: Tessa’s Lid was a bit loose so I put one of those crochet headbands under the brim to keep it snug.)
(when am I going to learn to put on make-up before we do something I KNOW I’lll blog about?? Blarg!)
Every time a car goes by we all dive into the bushes or hide behind trees. We looked pretty shady jumping into shrubbery with our double stroller in tow, but the kiddos take this all very seriously and we had to follow suit.
Isn’t being a parent soooooo rad!!!!!
We always pick the houses with the most décor because I think they are more likely to actually do the BOO fun!
Who knows.
One neighbor had a fog machine and I almost stole some wreaths from another neighbor.
Is it odd that I think we would be friends because we have the same taste in wreaths?? I also peeked in their windows and we have the same style. (You can’t deny it’s fun to be a window peeker!! The non creepy kind… the I wanna check out your decorating kind.)
We go Booed the next night.
And the circle of BOO love came… um… full circle.
And now we get to do two more houses.
Doesn’t get better than that!
Side Note:
Cy is growing up. Is there any way to stop time because I’m going to go cry in a corner now…

The face paint makes it for the little kiddos. Have you BOOed your neighborhood yet?
