Trick-or-Treat

TricK-or-TreaT

It's that time of year again! My 3rd favorite holiday, Halloween! There is just something so cool to me about dressing up in fun little costumes. Really makes me want to be a kid again, really!

Every city or town is different but here in the town I live in, our T&T is always the Friday before Halloween. So that means tonight is the night and I am really excited (as you can tell)! It will be our first T&T done as a family. Last year when Little Miss was 1, the hubby was working 2nd shift so it was just me and her. She is going to love getting dressed up in her Cheetah dress and walking around with Mommy and Papi!

Having said that, even Trick-or-Treating can be dangerous, so you will want to plan ahead and take some precautions.

Here are some tips and safety precautions when taking the little ones out for this year's (and every) T&T:

Halloween Costume Safety

• Put reflective tape or wear reflective articles of clothing (sneakers, vests, etc.)
• Hem or cut the bottoms of costumes to avoid tripping
• Wear comfortable, practical shoes
• Make sure the fake weapons are not real looking and won't harm another person
• Use non-toxic make-up
• Wear flame retardant costumes

Trick-or-Treating Tips

• Carry a flashlight
• Walk, don't run
• Cross the street only when it is safe. 
• Only visit well lit houses. No outside light, means no T&T
• Parents, carry your cell phone in case of emergency
• Stay away from dark alleyways
• Check and discard any candy with loose or no wrappings
• Be respectful of people's lawns and gardens.

We hope you have a fun and safe holiday! Enjoy!
