You've been BOO'd!!

The girls and I just got back from "BOOing". Our friend Carrie started the tradition last year so we decided to get it going again tonight. We created 3 baskets of Halloween goodies, delivered them to the doorstep of our unsuspecting neighbors, rang the doorbell, and RAN! Inside the basket along with the treats is the following note:

"This sweet surprise is called a "boo"!

You'll never know exactly who

brought treats and then ran off unseen

to brighten up your Halloween!

It's twice the good luck if you go

and "boo" two other folks you know!

Pack up a ghost sign,

treats, and gifts,

and add a poem just like this.

Pick out a house

and sneak up close.

(Make sure its windows have no ghost

that tells you clearly

"We've been Boo'd!"

It's best to visit someplace new.)

Knock fast on someones door- then run!

Make sure you're never seen! It's fun!

And once they get your gifts and food...

they'll know for sure that

they've been boo'd!

The girls had a great time and thought it was hilarious to watch the kids that answered the door of the homes that we "boo'd" run out and look for who may have left the gift. I think that we were able to remain unseen since the girls were in costume (hopefully they don't read this blog). Now the girls are planning a strategy on how to answer the door whenever our bell rings to get there in time to see who will "boo" us.
