Today is a very spooky day. Make sure to keep your kids safe tonight while they're Trick-or-Treating. To help you keep the little ones safe, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention put out a good safety list.
S-Swords and similar costume accessories should be short, soft, and flexible.
A-Avoid trick-or-treating alone. Walk in groups or with a trusted adult.
F-Fasten reflective tape to costumes and bags to help drivers see you.
E-Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them.
H-Hold a flashlight while trick-or-treating to help you see and others see you.
A-Always test make-up in a small area first to avoid skin and eye irritation.
L-Look both ways before crossing the street. Use established crosswalks.
L-Lower your risk for eye injury by not wearing decorative contact lenses.
O-Only walk on sidewalks whenever possible, or on the far edge of the road.
W-Wear well-fitting masks, costumes, and shoes to avoid falls.
E-Eat only factory-wrapped treats. Avoid eating homemade treats.
E-Enter homes only if you're with a trusted adult.
N-Never walk near lit candles or fire, and wear flame-resistant costumes.
Be safe and have fun.
I'll be dressed up as Tim Tebow tonight. When passing out candy, I'll throw the candy 30 feet over the kids heads or I'll hold onto the candy until I get tackled.
