Hopefully everyone will be out haunting their neighborhoods Saturday night and hauling home lots of candy. We received a reminder today from school that we should be vigilant and check the sex offender registry before trick-or-treating with the kids. It is good practice to be aware of your surroundings always, so do yourself a favor and arm yourself (and your children) with some knowledge by checking out these websites:
Halloween Safety Tips
Louisiana State Police sex offender registry
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children
You can also check out this previous post for a link to an article that shares some staggering statistics.
And while we're on the subject of safety, when you turn your clocks back Saturday night, be sure to change the batteries in your smoke detectors!
Have a happy and safe Halloween!

Top 10 Tuesday: Halloween Costumes!
I know its only mid-September, but my 4 year old is already making plans for his Halloween costume. Its the first year we've let him decide how he'll dress, mainly because we don't already have a hand-me-down costume in our arsenal that fits him! So, in honor of Top 10 Tuesday, here are the top 10 costumes that he wants:
- Spider-man ("the good one, NOT the bad one," he says)
- Wolverine (from X-Men)
- A bulldozer
- A crane "like at Pawpaw's work"
- Batman
- A pirate (Captain Jack Sparrow, of course!)
- Buzz Lightyear
- A monster
- Iron Man
- "The scary guy from Star Wars" (Darth Vader - I'm not sure how he knows him, since I'm fairly certain he's never seen the movies...)
The best part is that he wants to be ALL of these things, for THIS Halloween! The list gets longer each time a catalog arrives with costumes for sale...
Head on over to OhAmanda for more Top 10 Tuesday lists!
