Little Bubbas: Booing

Dear Bubbas,

You are in full Holiday spirit around here! We bought our costumes this week and you have put them on for several hours out of every day ever since. Hunter is Spider man, Connor is Darth Vader, and Kaylee is a cupcake. The day after we bought the costumes Kaylee felt a little left out that her costume was different than her brothers so she decided to be a "super cupcake".

We end up making the entire month of October a holiday centered around pumpkins, costumes, and candy! You love making rice crispy pumpkins and going to Winco in your costumes. I love how simple the month is, and yet it seems to be the most fun. It's the last month before the real holiday madness sets in, and you three just make every day so much fun!

This year I decided to let you guys go "booing." We bought Charlie Brown buckets at Target and filled them with candy. Then we made signs that said 'You've been Boo'd'. We drove to houses and set the treats on the doorstep, rang the bell, and RAN! It was super fun. Hunter though you all should wear your costumes in case someone saw you running away from their house they wouldn't recognize you. I laughed silently to myself at that because I'm pretty sure if anyone saw a cupcake running from their door they'd know who we were! Connor didn't feel too great so he didn't want to wear his costume, but he still had a good time.

First we Boo'd Uncle Wade. You snuck up to the house as quiet as you could, rand the bell, and then Hunter screamed "RUN!!!" I'm fairly certain the entire neighborhood heard you shrieking with glee and giggling as you ran away from the house. We're pretty sneaky!

We Boo'd Grammy's neighborhood next. That was really fun, because the neighborhood is a small cul-d-sac so as people were opening their doors, if they didn't hear you scream with delight and giggle down their drive way they certainly saw you across the street at the next house.

Grammy has a neighbor Joanne who has a dog Buster. Kaylee loves Buster. She doesn't understand fully that Buster is not Grammy's because Buster is constantly at Grammy's playing with the other dogs. One day when we were driving down the street Kaylee saw Buster at his house and said, "Mommy look! Buster's at that house!" She was shocked! I had to explain to her that he in fact lives there. Well, Buster decided to come Booing with us. You three were creeping to all the houses and Buster was right there with you. Apparently Buster was walking too loudly because Hunter turned to him and said, "BUSTER! SHHHHH!"
It made me laugh so hard. Buster's walking was too loud, but Hunter screaming for everyone to run wasn't. Poor Buster.

When we were done Booing, we went to visit Grammy like nothing had happened. Papa Steve and Grammy made a big deal about what had happened and asked if we knew who left them treats. Kaylee giggled, Hunter said 'I'm not going to tell you', and Connor said 'WE DID!"

It was a really fun night. I love hearing you three giggle that hard. Thanks for all the laughs and for making the simple things so much fun!

I love you! Happy October!
Mommy
