With all the craziness that is going to erupt when the holidays start, the easiest one of them all is Halloween! As the school starts again, Halloween is a holiday that is not only exciting for the kids, but also for us adults!
In the article I am going to tell you a couple of fun, but safe ways to keep the fun going without anyone getting hurt! In all seriousness renters in the Las Vegas area have one obligation on this fun night: making sure the path from the street to your door is safe for the trick-or-treaters! Take no risks; there will be no doubt a handful of giddy ghosts that will race up to your door as excited as ever! Be prepared! The day of, in the sunlight, inspect your side-walks, drive ways, lawns and porch and make sure there is nothing that can be tripped on, on the way up!
Not only should you be looking for left over toys, and big rocks be sure to be looking for lifting concrete, broken walk way stones, and exposed tree roots. When you are cleaning up and making sure your house is a Halloween friendly home, try and make a specific path for kids to walk up, not just letting them walk up any part of your front yard.
Do not forget if you decorate for Halloween with lights, and light up pumpkins, and blow up mummies. When you are decorating with lights, make sure no cords are not exposed, and are not reachable by small children! After you have checked the entire walk ways, turn on the lights and get ready for all the kiddies. Houses with a lot of light and a lot of decorations will attract more trick-or-treaters!
Make it fun, kids are so excited, they have been waiting to be that football player, or princess all year! Open the door with a happy face and make them feel like they are exactly what they dressed up to be! When you are lighting up your home in Las Vegas, try to resist from using flammable décor. Whether a kid is just being a jerk, or it was an accident, a lot of decorations for Halloween are flammable, like hay, paper, and dried cornstalks. If you cannot resist using flammable decoration, try to keep them from candles or heat sources. If Jack-o’-lanterns or other luminaries figures into your celebrations, make them bright using LED lights, and not an open flame. Keeping not only your yard, home, and family safe will also keep other people families safe! Try and contain your pets! Chances are you have a very friendly pup, but some costumes are very convincing and can frighten your pooch!
Locking your pets up, will keep them from trying to protect you when the zombies are coming down the road! A festive parade of goblins and ghouls, princesses and superheroes will soon be marching to your house. Do your part by clearing the path and lighting the way.
Be safe out there, and have a Happy Halloween!
