Monday night we got "Booed." (no I was not with it enough to take a picture of our basket of goodies- but this picture is a good representation of a Boo)
You likely do this in your neighbourhood, but I hadn't experienced it until we moved here.
The idea is that you create a Halloween treat/basket and leave it on a neighbour's doorstep with a poem instructing them to do the same for 2 other people, ring the bell and hide. In an effort to keep families from being "booed" multiple times, a ghost is placed in your window to let others know you've already been in on the fun.
The kids LOVE doing this! They really think it is such a hoot... and it is.
Funny thing is though, the other night we were out trying to be sneaky and "boo" some friends of ours, only to find that another family was going to the same family at exactly the same time!! So funny! I don't think we were too secret as 6 kids left down the street running into 3 different cars. LOL! Very fun!
If you haven't already, start the tradition in neighbourhood. It is Super fun!!
Here is a cute copy of the poem and a ghost for the door

So fun! We got a basket of Halloween goodies on our door the other night. It's the same concept except for you reuse the same basket over and over. We eat the goodies and then fill it up and surprise someone else with it. That's funny about almost giving it to the same family.
i want that boo basket. i think it may be the best one i've ever seen.
I agree, that's a pretty good looking boo basket! We LOVE booing. Who doesn't love ding dong ditching with treats, or opening your door to a nice little surprise? Love it! :)
I love the boo stuff. It's so fun! That is quite the boo basket! I've never gotten that good of stuff!

Never heard of this, it seems fun. The basket looks great...
Way fun. You guys have such cute things happening in your neighborhood all the time. It almost makes me wish I lived in town...naw, but it's definitely cute:)
