You've Been Booed!

A few mornings back we got the best surprise on our front door step! We had been booed. It has been years since I’ve been booed. The look on my children’s faces once they say the bag of goodies was priceless! It amazes me how neighbors can come together and bring joy to each other’s faces with just a simple thoughtful gift.

If you have been booed before then you probably are familiar with the guidelines. Once you receive your goodie bag you will need to put the “You’ve Been Booed” note on your door or window so your neighbors will know not to Boo you again. Then you will have two days to bring the joy to two other families. Now you have to be as sneaky as a mouse so no one sees the ghost. :)

The fun part is picking out what to put into the Boo Bag. My kids and I took a trip to Target and hit their $1 bins. For us this can be dangerous, but we put a $10 limit on each bag so we wouldn’t go crazy. I personally feel that with Halloween just around the corner kids don’t need an overwhelming amount of candy, so we stuck with getting goodies that were personal to the recipient. Here is what we put together:

Boo Bag for a little girl:

2 Age appropriate books

Sticker book

Halloween socks

Frozen Headband Set

Plastic Halloween cup

Pack of Halloween pencils

Bath Paint

Witches hat with cotton candy in it

Candy Vampire teeth

Skittles Pumpkin

M & M tube

Boo Bag for a Boy:

Age appropriate book

Halloween Socks

Pack of fake mustaches

Halloween cup

Halloween pencils

Glow Sticks

Bouncy Eyeballs

Candy Vampire teeth

Sour Patch Kids

Air Heads

Witches hat with cotton candy in it

My son picked out the pumpkin and monster cloth bag to put all the goodies in, but you can make your Boo Bag out of anything you would like. You can use the plastic pumpkins for trick-or-treating or you can make something.
