We’ve Been Boo-ed!

by Jill Jarvis 6 Comments

Check out our 2012 post HERE.

 

We came home this evening to find that we had been Boo-ed! On our doorstep were two bags full of Halloween goodies.

 

According to the paper in the bag, to Boo someone, you just print out the paper HERE, fill a bag with treats, leave it on a doorstep and run. It was the first time we’ve ever been Boo-ed, and it made our day!

The bags left on our step had candy, Halloween crafts and odds and ends. The instructions say to keep the chain going and Boo someone the next day. So we got to work and started to assemble our own bags. The website also says to fill at least two bags. We made 5  so all little brothers and sisters were included.

We filled buckets (like THESE) with stickers, bracelets, hair ties and pencils… We also included a Crayola Glow Explosion Kit.

 

 

We’ll take our bags out to Boo tomorrow. We plan to go in the daylight and I’ll call the other mom ahead of time, just so it goes smoothly with a 2 and 4 year old.

Have you been Boo-ed? If not, go HERE and start the Boo-ing in your neighborhood!

    We just moved into a new neighborhood and the doorbell rang, introducing us to this fun tradition! I love your printables which I'll include in the basket for the next neighbor!

    I write about adventures with the kids and all things travel http://www.theeducationaltourist.com and would love for you to stop by.

    Thanks for sharing!

jill-jarvis-bigkidsmallcity-circle-300 Welcome!  JillBJarvis.com is the go-to blog for things to do in Houston with kids!  It is upbeat and dedicated to making our big city feel small.   START HERE!    

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
