Happy Howl-oween!

What are you doing today? Are the fur-kids involved?

I hope everyone decorated their houses, carved pumpkins, bought candy, and are dressing up! Halloween is my favorite holiday, but unfortunately I am unable to get involved this year. Limited funds prevented decorating, buying pumpkins, candy, and costumes. Next year...I hope to go all out =)

I wanted to remind everyone about safety. Halloween brings unusual safety hazards that you don't see normally.

-People are often dressed in all dark colors, or at least a lot of them...that makes it harder for people driving cars to see them. If you're driving tonight, please keep your eyes peeled and drive a bit slower in residential areas.
-People also have masks on that can and will interfere with their vision and they might not see you! Follow above safety.
-Doors are being opened and opened and opened, cats and dogs and even small children can escape out of the doors...they aren't watching where they are going. Again follow safety from #1.
-Candy. Juvenile diabetes is becoming more wide spread these days, if your child is diabetic, please please PLEASE monitor the candy intake and their levels! Also, please make sure to check all of your kids candy to make sure there is nothing they are allergic to, aren't allowed to have, or even something dangerous.
-Most important, parents, please go out with your children! At least up to the age of 10 or 13 or so, hang back, let them have fun, but keep an eye on them, they are a lot of creepy people that come out at Halloween, not to mention peer pressure to do stupid, sometimes illegal things from their friends.

Second most important...HAVE FUN!
