Our family happened to move into our wonderful neighborhood in late October a few years back. I was surrounded by pregnant neighbors (there were 4 of us in 2 blocks) and families with young children which was a big change from our last neighborhood. One of the first treats we discovered about living in such a young and social neighborhood was being boo'ed (booed).
It was a dark and storm afternoon. Just a few days before Halloween I scrambled to the now familiar sound of unexpected visitors knocking on the door during nap time. As I rushed to the door to hush the two franticly barking dogs before the commotion woke up my napping toddlers, I could see the would-be troublemaker dashing away. When I opened the door I was quickly over the frustration of all the commotion because I found my 7 month pregnant self staring down at a giant plate of sugar cookies, rice crispy treats and reeses pieces!
I'd been Boo'd. A sneaky neighbor had left a plate of goodies with a poem attached letting me know that "You've Been Booed" and that I needed to Boo two other neighbors. It's like a candy chain letter with out the threat of 7 years bad luck. How could I not? I had been graciously given a good 15 mins of pregnancy heaven. It was probably a 5 day supply of candy and cookies for a normal person but I had to hurry up and eat it all before the kids woke up. You know, cavities and all.
So today while trying to distract myself from the growing mounds of candy (ok and laundry) and having just got Boo'd this morning during carpool, I whipped up a very special & original You've Been Boo'd printable for the free Halloween downloads section! Download your free You've Been Boo'd poem (2 poems/signs per page and instructions). While your there you can download our pumpkin coloring page and fun Halloween word find. Good times. Happy Halloween!
