We discovered a website called Frightgeist that tells us the exact local info. We can even filter it locally or nationally, depending on preference.

Texas schools now have to notify parents within five days if a classmate has head lice, and the hope is the new rules will help stop the spread. And then Halloween happens! There's a huge spike in head lice cases this time of year, and wigs and masks may be to blame. Eeww.

Oh, our poor pups! It's the worst season of their lives. There's nothing dogs dislike more than dressing up like a pumpkin, or a hot dog, or a cat for goodness sakes. But they're gonna do it this Halloween, in the name of fun. Check out the ten most popular Halloween costume ideas for pets, and tell us what you would add to the list.

We carry around a secret inner desire to be Flo from Progressive all year long, and finally at Halloween we let her out!  Is that it? The kids might have questions about Halloween, so I did some research to prep us.
