Most of us know how to keep kids safe while out and about on Halloween...Tip #286
but do you put any thought into keeping your house safe for others that may visit you?
- To keep homes safe for visiting trick-or-treaters, remove from the porch and front yard anything a child could trip over such as garden hoses, toys, bikes and lawn decorations.
- Check outdoor lights and replace burned-out bulbs.
- Wet leaves or snow should be swept from sidewalks and steps.
- Restrain pets so they do not inadvertently jump on or bite a trick-or-treater.

Rainbow Brite!
My first year living on my own, I was so excited for trick-or-treaters and decorated my front stoop. Kids tripped over my jack-o-lanterns all night. I learned to put them down on the ground out of the way after that!
My fave costume was probably the year I went as a pumpkin. Homemade costume stuffed with newspapers. Took forever to get ready, but man, was I cute. ;)
