NittanyJen Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 For you west coasters who may not have started yet . . . we came up with a last second "Hey, wait a sec . . ." We had some of those really flexible book lights lying around-- the really bright LED types. Both of my boys' costumes involved belts, so we wrapped the lights around their belts and made them nice and bright from behind, giving them great "tail lights." I may not be able to move tomorrow after spending the afternoon shoveling wet leaves off of my front lawn (courtesy of Hurricane Sandy) to make the lawn less slippery for little treaters, but I feel better about my kids walking around the neighborhood in the dark now!

dirty ethel rackham Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 We usually get glow sticks for the kids (and glow bracelets and necklaces.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NittanyJen Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 We usually get glow sticks for the kids (and glow bracelets and necklaces.) So do we, but we didn't have them on hand this year (hurricane and other issues threw our usual planning out of whack). This was a great "what will some people just have lying around the house (like us) and be able to just use without having to run out and buy something?" idea :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 This year we all had pretty bright costumes. I also put on glow in the dark bracelets on everyone. (Well - except dh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
