Boo!

So every year we get "Boo'ed" and my kids love it. I have to say that the older they get and the faster they can run the funner(it's a word right?) it is to "boo" in return.

For those of you who may be wondering what I'm talking about I 'll explain. Someone makes some treats, leaves them on your door with a little note and a sign, rings the bell and runs. You eat the treats(hoping they aren't poison), copy the sign and accompanying note. Place the sign in your window or on your door. Then you make treats and do the same thing to other people in your neighborhood. It really is fun. There's nothing quite like the mask of darkness so early on right now to help out as my three little stealth ninjas (full face masks included) sneakily "boo" our friends and neighbors. I almost give us away as I hide behind parked cars giggling at it all. Then when we get home my ninjas like to reenact how it all went down. "Mom, I was here and you were there by that car, which wasn't' a very good hiding place, and then we rang the bell, and then I ran here and Sam ran here, and it was so awesome" So for my friends in Ak, if this Darkness is already getting to you, go boo someone, it'll lift your spirits and you'll have a nice bit of cover in the early dark hours. :)
BOO!

life is good.

Homework was done by 5:45pm and dinner was finished earlier then that. My boys are happily playing with toys they bought from a neighbor at a very reasonable price. We finally have the 6th book in the "Sister's Grimm" series to start tonight. Life is good.
