BOO! Your Neighbors

Boo bags can be cute
decorative bags or
just a brown lunch bag. 
One of my favorite holidays is Halloween. Halloween has tons of easy crafts but most importantly, CANDY.   Our neighborhood has a tradition of "Booing" each other, which usually starts the first week of October.  It gets everyone excited about Halloween and growing up on a farm in rural Ohio, no one ever Boo'd my house!  I love it! 

Basically a Boo is a bag of goodies for the kids in the family that gets them excited for Halloween. Our Boo has already been delivered this year and we are sending it on to two more neighbors (cause that's the rules, Duh). So if you're interested in starting a Boo in your neighborhood, here are the rules & the web links you need to make it happen.

First: You need 2 bags or buckets, etc to put your treats into. Fill each one with a few treats or goodies (candy, crayons, little Halloween decoration, etc). In their basket you need to include a picture of the Boo and a copy of the Boo Poem. Then you drop them off at your neighbors house's. When you start this, it is fun for the kids to see the Boo's go up in the window. So hang it where your friends can see it, then the fun gets spread to more houses! 

Oh just a word of wisdom, you should probably tell the parent of the kids you're "booing" that it is going to happen. The first time I participated, 1 of my 2 houses tossed the bag because they didn't know who it was from....now I let them know. Have fun!
