Halloween

Just in case Halloween has slipped your mind and you are low on goodies for the vampires, Ninjas, and girls in “Frozen Elsa Deluxe” costumes. Never fear, look around your home, there’s plenty that can meet the need.

Who doesn’t take the extra toiletries with them when leaving motels and hotels? How many kids wouldn’t love to get their own miniature bottle of shampoo or what about that hand lotion?

Boys might balk at these items, but they would love their own ballpoint pen with the name of the inn, suite, hotel or motel on the side. Throw in the free note pad and whose the winner?

Kids love costumes and suppose mom and dad are short on funds this year. Look no further than your house for these items also. Tell your daughter or son to take the dog for a walk and trick or treat at the same time. When the person who answers the door asks them, “Well, sonny or honey, what are you?” Your child can say, “Hey, I’m a dog walker, now, give us some treats or you will get a treat on your lawn.”

Zombie costumes are big this year. Just dress your child in some old clothes and tell them to walk kinda crooked. Scary.

As a precaution, parents, guardians, older kids, make sure you look over the child’s candy before letting them eat any. Take out the premium stuff and do a taste test to make sure it is for real.

If there isn’t any, at least you can use the shampoo, ballpoint pens, and note pads.
