Halloween Boo!

Here are some pictures of Wilson getting a "BOO" bag ready and delivering the goodies. If you haven't heard of this before, it is a little neighborly 'game.' You make a sign with a "BOO" and then leave it along with some treats. The neighbor is then supposed to pass on the "BOO" to two more neighbors. By Halloween, everyone should have been "BOO'd". We used to do it at the school I taught at in Lansing.
Anyway, Wilson had a lot of fun getting the bags ready, and he really got a kick out of sneaking up to our neighbors' doors. Although he didn't keep the secret long when our next door neighbors got home shortly after we dropped theirs off. It was fun though!
Here is the "BOO" poem if you are interested in trying it in your neighborhood, or with some friends of yours. You can find other poems by 'googling'...boo neighbor.

BOO!
To our good friends on our street;
Our homes' location made us meet,
You now have been "BOO'd" but who could it be?
We'll never tell, its a secret you see!
We placed these goodies for you & yours-
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
*place this "BOO!" on your front door, then "BOO" two neighbors of yours. Remember to include a treat & sign for each! Posted by Picasa
