Time to BOO your Neighbors!

I recently was asked by one of my sweet friends (who moved away and I miss dearly) about our family's tradition of "BOO-ing" our Neighbors! I thought I would post it on our blog so you can all make a family night of it!

Last year we had a MOPS "Girl's Night In" to make BOO-Bags for our families to BOO our neighbors and Halloween Countdown Paper Chains! We also collected candy for our Kid's MOPPETS Halloween Party! It was a lot of fun! Take a look at the photos below.

This is my Son Hunter from last year. He was SO excited for the chain I made him and his sister!

So the art of "BOO-ING".... Starts with just getting creative! Get your entire Family involved!

1. Make up as many BOO Gifts/buckets/baskets etc. that you want to BOO with and fill them with your favorite items.

• Bake  some cookies or breads
• Fill a pumpkin with Candy
• Pick up a Halloween Candle Holder
• Pick up a Halloween Magazine. Here's a Great tip- Go to your Goodwill and they usually have old Magazines you can buy for .25-.50. Around the holidays they put out the old holiday ones that still have great ideas on decorating, recipes etc...(The Goodwill off of Rosedale Hwy-is books and magazines only). You can also purchase old magazines at the Library too.

Check out this fun idea of creating a Candy Bouquet from Babblin-Brooke. 

   

Whatever you can come up with put together a few little Halloween gifts that you can BOO your Neighbors or friends with. 

2. Then visit one of the links below to print out your BOO signs and instructions.

Over at Anna and Blue's Blog she has a really cute free BOO sign to print.

3. Now find your unsuspecting target...

4. Make the "drop". Be a kid again and run up to the door and drop it off! 

5. Ring the doorbell and knock if you dare!

6. Then..... RUUUUUUUNNNN!!!!

Have FUN! I hope you make this a fun tradition for you and your family! Those with little ones you could make this a two night event. One night of the week make the boo bags. Let the little kids stamp lunch baggies, glue on googly eyes, make paper chains, etc....Then maybe on Friday plan a Halloween movie night in but before you pop the popcorn go deliver the Goods! 

Don't forget to be silly and have fun! I guarantee  this will be something your kids LOVE!
