Boo Bags

Adding goodies to our boo bags

 I like finding fun little activities to do with Theo, because at this age, he is so much fun and thinks everything is so exciting!  Since he started to get into Fall/Halloween this year after seeing a Halloween display at Menards and going to the pumpkin patch, I decided it would be fun to do boo bags with Theo.

Ready to be delivered

This was an experience that I first had in the military community-I can't remember if it happened at Sheppard or just Barksdale, but basically the idea is that you "Boo" someone by leaving an anonymous bag of goodies outside someone's house and include a note with details explaining what "booing" is and how to pass it along.  Usually once you've been booed, you make some boo bags and boo two other people.  You also hang a small sign on your door saying you've been booed, so the fun gets shared with even more people.  This year I got the direction and boo sheet off of this site.

Checking out what's in his bag

The project was a week long project because we talked about it one day, went shopping another, make pumpkin bags the next (they were way to small), stuffed our bags, and finally delivered them.  We made four bags (two for our neighbors on either side or us, and two that we passed to people without kids).  Theo had lots of fun talking about boo bags, and he liked to deliver them, although we got caught at one of the neighbors because the dog barked and then Theo dropped the bag, but it's okay.

Ooohhh-treats for Theo

Theo decided Woodrow needed to read this book while we were making boo bags

The funnest part was, that since we took so long getting out bags out, the day we were set to deliver them, Theo and Woodrow got a boo bag delivered to our house.  Theo thought that was the best thing ever!  His boo bag had pencils, glow sticks, candy, and little spiders inside.  He talked about it all day for days.  He was so happy he got a boo bag too!
