It's almost haunting time....

It's almost haunting time!! Little ghouls and goblins running amuck in the streets from house to house. What a scary thought! Well, it's near that time again, Hallow's Eve or Halloween as we call it. Here are some tips for your little trick or treaters so that they may have more treats than tricks...

1. Always keep an eye on your kids. It will be dark and there will still be automobiles on the road.

2. Check and double check again all candies that are given out. Better to be safe than sorry. Try to moderate also the intake of all that sugar. Cavities are expensive as we all know and a toothache just doesn't feel too good, know what I mean?

3. Always bring a flashlight so you can see in the dark and pedestrians and drivers can see you easily.

4. Try to give out candy at home or have a Halloween party instead, so your kids can enjoy the occasion as well as the grownups.

5. Make your own costume! It's fun, you can be creative and get to spend time with your kids. You can even make it a tradition if time allows. If not, you can buy a costume.

6. Always make sure your kids have a responsible partner with them. It will be easier and safer that way.

7. Set a time limit on the hours for trick or treating, therefore ensuring they will be home on time.

8. Never venture into unknow neighborhoods, better stick to the neighbors that you know.

9. Please, discard all your wrappers and disposable items in the proper place! Littering is awful you know.

10. And last but not least, enjoy this occasion with your kids if you can. It will help you build a better bond with your kids and you can get some exercise while you guys are out there!

Hope this helps a little on the upcoming Halloween night. Enjoy, be safe and have a howling good time!!!
