We "Boo", Do You?


Do you "Boo"? I had never heard of this super-fun Halloween tradition until we moved to the midwest ~ so I'm not sure if you guys back east are in on the fun!

This is our third year! On Sunday night, the doorbell rang. I went to answer, but no one was there ... only a wonderful bag of Halloween treats - popcorn balls and candy for the kids and a cutie-pie jack-o-lantern dishtowel for me. Inside the bag was a sign for our window (to mark us for other "Boo-ers" and the directions on how to continue the fun). When the Lands kids got up on Monday morning they were so excited ... it was like Christmas in October! Don't tell anybody, but Bradley had a popcorn ball for breakfast and I'm pretty sure Stephen had Skittles - is Halloween the best holiday or what? Now it's our turn to get in on the fun!

Tonight's the night! We will head out with our bags of treats to surprise our friends and neighbors. We really look forward to this tradition, especially the boys, but I think they just like the ringing the doorbell and running away part!

If you want to "Boo" your friends, you can go to my pal Jennifer's blog and get a copy of her "Boo" signs & directions at The Wilson Six. Get in on the fun ~ you'll love it!
