A-Booing We Went

One of our favorite Halloween traditions is Booing in the neighborhood. Monday night, the doorbell rang just after dark, and the kids went flying to the door. Sure enough: we had been booed. A basket arrived filled with Halloween treats, flashlights, stickers, and squirmy wormies. There was much squealing and no time for photographs. We hung our ghost on the door and started plotting.

 

Last night, we went shopping for the perfect boo baskets. Once you are booed, you choose two other houses to boo, which works out beautifully when you have two children. They each chose a house and filled Halloween buckets with the perfect treasures. Issa was very proud of her basket:

She even delivered it all by herself. She has this ring and run thing down.

Evan was also thrilled by his selection:

I helped him with the ring and run part. He dropped it on the porch and got a head start before I rang and ran. Mental note to self: change out of my work dress and heels before attempting this next year. Thankfully, we didn't get caught!

It really is such a fun tradition, and I love that the kids have just as much fun booing as they do being booed. Tonight, we carve the pumpkins!
