Trick-or-Treat Safety Tips
Halloween brings back all kinds of memories from my childhood. From uncomfortable masks to itchy, thick face paint, not all of my brilliant costumes turned out as well as I had imagined. When I got too old to go out, I loved to answer the door and ask the kids to demonstrate skills related to their costume. “Show me your ninja moves!” “Let’s hear a big cheer!” But my favorite trick-or-treat experiences were with my nephews, when we would coordinate our costumes. Now that they’re in high school, I really miss those Buzz Lightyear and Lilo & Stitch days!
