Kiddie Coop

Every month our small group does a kiddie coop. Basically, it's one night a month that you are guaranteed a free babysitter for a date night or whatever you choose to do. It's from 6:30pm to 11:00pm on a Friday. We take turns keeping the kids and October was our month. There are usually between 7-8 kids but several of them couldn't make it so we lucked out and only had two. Well with our kids, four total. So I decided to make it a Halloween theme. We ate Jack O' Lantern pizza, had Halloween cookies, decorated pumpkins, made BOO buckets, went BOO'ing, and ended the night with some Halloween Dora. And even though we only had two extra kids, it felt like 50 because they were wild...lol.



For those of you that don't know what BOO'ing is... you put some Halloween treats together along with a little note that explains what it is on two people's doorstep, ring the bell and run. You've been BOOed. Then they are supposed to go BOO two people and it's supposed to go around the whole neighborhood. Sometime it catches on and sometimes it doesn't but it still feels good to do something nice for people. And it's FUN! The kids helped put together the buckets and were so excited to go until they actually had to go up to the door. They were all scared. It was hilarious.

What an awesome idea! I have never heard of being Boo'd!!! What an intense video though. My face was up to the screen and I couldn't help but giggle when Prestly said something about why we were running, or at least I think that is what she said. Too cute!

That is such a cute idea... I've never heard of it either.
