Boo!

We have had a great time in our neighborhood lately - everyone is getting BOO'D.  It's a fun game that we've never done before.  Basically a neighbor Boos a couple of other neighbors by putting treats on their porch after dark, ringing the door bell and running.  Then you are supposed to Boo a couple of other neighbors and so on.
The boys were thrilled with all aspects of this - treats, being out after dark and sneaking to neighbors porches.  The night they headed out, I wasn't feeling well so I stayed home.  When they got back, Don was laughing so hard he could barely tell me what happened.
They drove the golf cart around to the other end of the neighborhood and had the lights off to be extra stealthy.  It was pitch dark out so Ryan and Luke got out and headed up to the porch of the Booee.  Luke took it all very seriously and sneaked so carefully that it took him forever to get to the porch.  Don said he was crouched down and took a step only once every several seconds.  (To all that have seen Animal House - he looked just like John Belushi when he was sneaking up to the Presidents House).  During this, it never occurred to him that his shoes light up and the kids at the house had already spotted him sneaking up!  Don said the lights were flashing all around and Luke just kept plodding along.
Even though they were busted, Luke came back telling me how fun it was and I'm sure we'll be doing this again next year!
