Apparently, BOOing people must be a Shanghai thing only or something from one of my American friends that is not from Texas that lived in Shanghai!!! We had so much fun doing it in Shanghai, that we wanted to try and do it here (assuming that it was probably a trend that started while we were over there and we would be in the "know" about something. Finally)!!!
Grant, Josh, and Coby and I boo'ed about 6 different families, and not a single one of the families put the BOO sign up. Not a single word from any of the families like "do you know what BOOing means?" I checked Facebook, I did drive-bys to most of the homes. No one mentioned it.
I hope none of our friends thinks the candy or the act of BOOing was something that a scary stranger would have done?! I hope no one threw the candy away deeming it unsafe. We didn't just BOO neighbors we could walk to, we BOO'ed some not so far away friends.
Has anyone heard of this? Perhaps we will have to try this again next year and see if people catch on then..........

My neighborhood knows all about Boo-ing! I have been booed every year of the 7 I have lived here and we always boo in return. There's always a cute little poem involved and an explanation of what to do. Sorry it hasn't caught on in your neighborhood yet. Give it another year!
um I don't know about booing but it sounds like fun! don't boo me though if it's expected I boo back because I be too busy to boo right now :)
Why I am blogging?? Because it's midnight and I just finished grading an assignment and I wanted to do something fun!
OH! Was it you? :) My kids were super excited about getting BOOed and we did it back to four families. We couldn't figure out who it was. I forgot we were supposed to put the sign up.
We used to do ghosting @ work... sounds like something similar. I thought it was a fun thing. Wow - am I this behind in checking blogs???
