Booing has begun!

So for those of you who are new to my blog, this is the time of year that Booing begins in my neighborhood.  Booing is such a fun thing that gets started at the beginning of October so it has time to spread by Halloween.  When you Boo someone, you put together fun treats and then leave them on your neighbor's porch for them to find.  You include a sign and instructions so they can continue Booing other neighbors.  After a week or two, it is fun to drive by houses on our street and see the Booing signs go up on the front of houses.

Here is a peak at some of the goodies I've found recently that are perfect for Booing.  By the way, that Orville Redenbacher Caramel popcorn is awesome.  It is a perfect fall snack.  And I've found Dollar Tree and the Target dollar spot to have wonderful booing items.

If you want to start Booing in your neighborhood, check out the Halloween Booing Printables on this website.  I'd love to hear if you Boo in your neighborhood.  And if so, what kind of goodies do you like to leave?

Do you Boo?

I am so excited that tomorrow begins Booing in my neighborhood. What is booing you ask? Well, we started this in my neighborhood a few years ago. There is a cute little poem and sign that you print up. Then you make up goody bags with treats and put the sign and poem/directions in the bags. You sneak over to your neighbors house at night and leave the goodies on the door. Then, they put up their "I've been Boo'd" sign so that other neighbors won't Boo them again. It is just like a chain letter and hopefully keeps spreading to everyone before Halloween gets here. It is best to start it on the first day of the month to let it have a chance to spread. Also, you have to factor in folks taking a few days to get their Boo bags together. There is also one for Christmas called Elfing. I"ll post on that closer to the end of Thanksgiving.

Just in case I went on bed rest, I had picked up some Boo goodies a few weeks ago. So, we are all set to still participate. It is so much fun to wake up and see a Boo bag on your front door. They have started selling Boo kits at Target and Hallmark in the last year. So, if you are interested, you can buy premade things, but I think it is fun to make up your own. We usually do candy and then find little toys for the Halloween bags. The Target dollar spot can be a great place to find these too.

If you do Booing, I'd love to hear from you what you do and what kind of goodies you put in your Boo bags.

Happy Haunting!
