Halloween Safety Tips to Keep Your Goblins Healthy and Happy

9/25/2018

Imag of a mom, dad, daughter and son decked out in Halloween costumes posing for a picture - 3 bedroom apartments in lafyette la
​Halloween is an exciting time for kids and adults.  Celebrating the hallowed eve with costumes and decorations is tons of fun.
 
Make sure your fun and your little guys and ghouls stay safe with these tips from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP):
 
When carving your pumpkin:
  • Small children should never carve pumpkins.  Children can draw a face with markers.  Then parents can do the cutting.
  • Consider using a flashlight or glow stick instead of a candle to light your pumpkin. If you do use a candle, a votive candle is safest.
  • Candlelit pumpkins should be placed on a sturdy table, away from curtains and other flammable objects, and not on a porch or any path where visitors may pass close by.  They should never be left unattended.
 
Costumes Considerations:
  • Plan costumes that are bright and reflective.  Make sure that shoes fit well and that costumes are short enough to prevent tripping, entanglement, or contact with flame.
  • Consider adding reflective tape or striping to costumes and trick-or-treat bags for greater visibility.
  • Because masks can limit or block eyesight, consider non-toxic makeup and decorative hats as safer alternatives.  Hats should fit properly to prevent them from sliding over eyes.  Makeup should be tested ahead of time on a small patch of skin to ensure there are no unpleasant surprises on the big day.
  • When shopping for costumes, wigs, and accessories look for and purchase those with a label clearly indicating they are flame resistant.
  • If a sword, cane, or stick is a part of your child’s costume, make sure it is not sharp or long.  A child may be easily hurt by these accessories if he stumbles or trips.
 
Making your home safe for trick or treaters:
  • Parents should check outdoor lights and replace burned-out bulbs.
  • Parents should remove anything from around the doorway a child could trip over such as garden hoses, toys, bikes, and lawn decorations.
  • Wet leaves should be swept from sidewalks and steps.
  • Restrain pets so they do not inadvertently jump on or bite a trick or treater.
 
When trick or treating:
  • A parent or responsible adult should always accompany young children on their neighborhood rounds.
  • Obtain flashlights with fresh batteries for all children and their escorts.
  • Only go to homes with a porch light on and never enter a home or car for a treat.
  • A Healthy Halloween:
  • A good meal prior to parties and trick or treating will discourage youngsters from filling up on Halloween treats.
  • Consider purchasing non-food treats for those who visit your home, such as coloring books or pens and pencils.
  • Wait until children are home to sort and check treats.  Though tampering is rare, a responsible adult should closely examine all treats and throw away any spoiled, unwrapped, or suspicious items.
  • Try to ration treats for the days and weeks following Halloween.

Home Celebrations and Activities for St. Patrick’s Day:
 
Green Beer and bands may not be your thing. It’s all good. Here are some ways to celebrate on March 17th that are a little different:
 
Pickles, Peppers, and Potatoes:
 
Belly up to the bar, the Irish potato bar that is!  Roast or bake potatoes and allow your dining companions to indulge in lots of green toppings.  Broccoli, celery, green onions, dill, cilantro, and asparagus are just a few green things that taste great on a potato.  In keeping with the green food theme:  chop up lots of different peppers (bell, jalapeno, and banana are popular varieties) and open jars of sweet, dill, and kosher pickles for your guests.
 
Irish Movie Marathon:
 
You might elect to be an Irish couch potato and celebrate the big day with classic movies featuring personalities from or about the Emerald Isle.  A few worth a view are The Boondock Saints (crime thriller), Brooklyn (romantic comedy), The Quiet Man (drama with John Wayne as a boxer), and The Commitments (musical).  The Muppet Movie with Kermit the Frog who sang about the difficulties of “Bein’ Green” onSesame Street and The Muppet Show would be a great end to a cinematic indulgent day.
 
Good Luck to You Bags:
 
Spread St. Patrick’s Day Cheer with your neighbors by creating Lucky You bags that you can leave on a doorstep to brighten someone’s day. Take a brown paper lunch bag and fill it with a miniature box of Lucky Charms cereal, a bar of Irish Spring soap, an Irish wish or joke, and a shamrock.
 
Tie the bag and address it by christening the person with an Irish name.  For instance, Mrs. Boudreaux becomes Mrs. McBoudreaux and John Thibodeaux becomes John O’Thibodeaux for the day.
 
Suggestions for the Irish wish that you can write in green ink or print onto green paper include: “May your troubles be less and your blessings be more and nothing but happiness come through your door” or “What is Irish and stays out all night?  Paddy O’Furniture.”
 
Regardless of how you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, Lafayette offers much by way of activities and locations to get your green on!  Looking for a place to live in the area, visit Lafayette Gardens Apartments and find out how you can be one of the lucky ones to live in this luxury apartment village.

The Comforts of Home: Amenities of Lafayette Gardens Apartments

In recent years both Harvard University and The Wall Street Journal ranked Lafayette, Louisiana as the happiest place to live in the United States. People, weather, food, and activities were all considered when cities were ranked. It makes sense, the joie de vivre of this Acadiana city pulses through to everything that happens in this city.

If you are looking to live in the happiest city, you want to select a location that has features that will lead to even deeper fulfillment. Imagine entering the gates of your community in the heart of the city of Lafayette. Right across the street are shops and restaurants in the highly desirable pedestrian community of River Ranch. Museums, art galleries, and schools are minutes away.

When you open the door to your apartment, you enter a one, two, or three -bedroom space designed with convenience and ease in mind. Water, garbage, and sewage services are included in your rent to make moving in, not to mention daily living, a piece of cake.

The beautiful interior design boasts walk-in closets, wide decorative crown molding, custom cabinets, and vaulted ceilings. Adding to the appeal of the décor are kitchen appliances in gleaming stainless steel.

There are washer and dryers in every unit. Air conditioning, intrusion alarm, ceiling fans, a dishwasher, and a garbage disposal are other appliances included in your apartment to provide comfort.  Relax in the garden tub or step outside to your patio/balcony area. If you desire to venture past your balcony/patio, enjoy the beachfront entry pool, basketball court, kids park, or pet park that are all located behind the gates of our community.

If your recreation tends towards indoor activities, there is a movie theatre, coffee bar, and clubhouse on the property as well. Work out in one of two 24-hour fitness centers and get a healthy-looking glow from the tanning beds.

Have all these amenities put a smile on your face? There are even more. A car care center and on-site management and maintenance that includes 24-hour emergency maintenance for those situations that require immediate attention or repair.

Corporate housing accommodations are available at Lafayette Gardens Apartments. Furnished apartments upon request can be granted as well.

Our staff understands the pressures and nature of oil industry careers and we can cater to the preferences of these unique workers.

Hospitality and a welcoming, nurturing environment is a leading goal of staff members. We understand that you have choices when it comes to where you will make your home.

We invite you to come tour our facilities. Let us talk to you about the way you want to live, where you want to live, our seasonal specials that are designed to fit many budgets, and what amenities you need to keep you happy.  Lafayette Gardens Apartments is proud to offer you the best in apartment community living.
