Parents

Remember to check your kids' Halloween candy. The goodie bags handed out today at the Halloween parade had candy with nuts (i.e. Snickers). Not too smart.

New Canaan Robberies

There has been a rash of robberies in New Canaan recently. Defeat criminals by hiding your valuables in safes that look like soup cans, shaving cream cans, etc. While criminals are looking for a traditional safe, they will ignore the valuables (i.e. cash & jewelry) hidden in "regular" household products. Check out these safes which look like household products.

This year's New Canaan Halloween Parade will take place on Sunday, Oct. 25 from 1-3 pm.

My boys will be the two little clone troopers marching in the parade. They will be easy to spot as there will be only 200 more Star Wars characters in the parade. :)
