BOO

On Saturday night at 8:30 pm our doorbell rang.
When Paul opened the door, no one was there. But
he did find a plastic jack-o-lantern on the doorstep
filled with goodies and a note telling us that we've been "BOO-ed".

Here's how it works.
The following poem is included with the goodies as
well as a boo sign like the one on the left to be put on your front door so other goblins will know you've been "hit" already.



The air is cool the season fall
Soon Halloween will come to all
The spooks are after things to do
In fact, a spook brought this to you
“BOO” is a shield from witching hour
Just hang it up and watch its power
On your front door is where it works
It wards off spooks and scary jerks
The treats that came with crypted note
Are yours to keep, enjoy them both
The power comes when friends like you
Will copy this and make it TWO
Then others here among our friends
Will give warm fuzzies that do not end
We’ll all have smiles upon our faces
No one will know who “BOO”ed whose places
Just one short day to work your spell
Or a big ZAP will strike your tail
And don’t forget a nifty treat,
Like something cute or something sweet
Please join fun, let’s really hear it
And spread some “BOO”s and Halloween spirit.

The kids were so excited to find the treats on Sunday morning.
We have no idea who Boo-ed us.
On Sunday afternoon, we took a trip to Target to get some
"Boo" trinkets. We prepared the plastic pumpkins and goodies
and the kids chose a couple of friends to "Boo."
We drove to their houses, dropped the loot, and took off before
we were spotted. It was lots of fun and a great way to
spend a Sunday afternoon.

It will be fun to see how many more BOO signs
go up in the neighborhood before Halloween.
There are three signs on our street so far. And several
more throughout the neighborhood. We'll keep you posted.
