So last night my dh, dd & I are hanging out in our family room playing together and the door bell rings. Of course that gets my dog barking and my dd all excited, so my dh goes to answer the door, and nobody is there . . . lo & behold, there is an orange halloween bag on our door. It is filled with candy and a pumpkin straw cup and a witch wind thing and a poem about how we've been Boo'd (starts out saying "You've been Boo'd) . . .

I've seen these at Hallmark and now even Target & Walmart, so it's just cute that we got one. The whole idea is for the persons dropping off the bag to not get caught and for the recipients to get a "sweet surprise" and then put a ghost (that comes in your goody bag) in your front window saying "we've been boo'd." Then the idea is for the recipients to now become the booers and to get the whole neighborhood into the fun spirit of things. How cute is this???

Anybody planning on boo'ing someone? We will for sure now . . .

You can check out the Hallmark site if you need more info on what I'm talking about:

What a cute idea, I love it!! That sounds like so much fun! I'd love to do something like that, but we live in an apartment building in a city so if we left sweets at someone's door they'd probably think we were trying to poison them hehe I'm going to pass the idea along to my parents, though, it sounds like something that they'd love to start in their neighborhood! Thanks

Our neighborhood does it, but people just buy the stuff themselves instead of using the premade hallmark ones. When my children were little we always got boo'd and boo'd people but now that they're older we don't get boo'd anymore (boo hoo )
