Boo Buckets

I'm sure we're the last to know about this thing, but on Saturday afternoon while taking a luscious 3-hour nap, we received a ring on our doorbell. Too lazy to disturb our naptime, we waited until we were awake a couple of hours later to go see what the fuss was all about.

On our doorstep was a cute green pumpkin filled with goodies and a note. We were "ghosted" or "Boo'd". One of our neighbors had started the apparently popular tradition of "Boo-ing" fellow neighbors and we were lucky recipients of a gift! The note said we had 24 hrs to make 2 Boo's and distribute them to 2 neighbors anonymously.

Surprised and excited, we ran out to the store and bought supplies to make our own Boo's. See pictures below (SOON) for our finished products. Jaime's is the green bucket with the witch, Charlie's is the black bucket with the scary house.

Contents of each bucket included: Candy of course, squishy red goo-filled balls with floating bugs in it (ewwwwwwwwww), fake mice that roll on their own when pulled back, a cute ghost or bat tealight candle holder, black cat or spider tealights, and a few decorative items.

Late that night we snuck out of the house and placed the treats on neighbors doorsteps, though we decided against ding-dong-ditching people since it was pretty late. This idea, while not new, was very fun to partake in and next time we'll be prepared for next year!
