--Fall is a wonderful time of year highlighted by Thanksgiving and Halloween celebrations. The days become shorter, nights cooler and the colours of autumn start to appear. We are surrounded by the beauty that Mother Nature presents us with.
As the kids start to count down the days to October 31st, preparations for Halloween begin. The excitement of selecting the right costume, carving the perfect pumpkin and the joy of being silly, goofy and scary for an evening.
What are the hot costume picks for 2016? Watch out for anything with superheroes, Paw Patrol, Pokeman and Suicide Squads.
Sunshine, rain, sleet or snow…..it doesn’t matter; the kids will be outside having a ball collecting candy, acting silly and scary…..boo!
Having fun outside with your friends and family is extremely important but we must remember to be safe and look after each other. Here are some helpful tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable evening is had by all.
Set a time limit for trick or treating. Setup an emergency meeting location; in case anyone gets separated from the group. Make sure your costume fits properly to avoid trips and falls and that it is visible to cars. Adding lights or reflective strips will help. Check all the candy before eating. Throw out anything that looks suspicious. After all the fun and eating please remember to brush and floss your teeth.
