You've been BOOed

Last week we were BOOed by new neighbors (we know who you are and we love you for it :). We made some goodies of our own and took them to friends on our street. Our boys had so much fun door-bell ditching that every day since they've been begging to do more. Since we were already planning on making sugar cookies, we decided to decorate a few dozen more and BOO ten other houses. My kids were literally GIDDY with delight. Tonight Aaron was playing tennis, so my four boys and I filled our car with decorated cookies and drove slowly around our neighborhood... ringing doorbells and running. Simon and I waited in the car (with the lights off) and couldn't help but laugh each time the boys came back to the car and screamed, "That was AWESOME!" They were caught only once and they thought that was "sooo freaky!" When we were finished they said, "Can we please do this again tomorrow?" Probably not, but maybe next holiday...

The best (and most confusing) part of the night was when Zack kept asking when we were going to deliver cookies to the FAT GIRLS. I was wracking my brain thinking about which neighbors Zack would think are fat. I told him several times that we should never call anyone fat, especially a GIRL. He was annoyed and said, "Mom. You KNOW Sister Fat Girl. She has blonde hair and she used to be my teacher!!" Oh, yes. Sister Fackrell lives right around the corner from us and she is going to LOVE when I tell her what Zack thinks her name is. She isn't a fat girl, btw.
