Scare the Neighbours:This might freak someone out for a second when they walk by your house...but it's Halloween! You find a scary face or something on the

Garbage Bag Bats:
Take a garbage bag, cut it into
small/medium squares.
Crumple up Kleenex or newspaper
into a ball and put it on the middle of the
cut square. Take the sides of the square
and bring it to the middle and use ribbonor an elastic to tie so that the crumbled up
Kleenex/newspaper looks like the body and
the folded up part is the wings. From there you
can add googley eyes as eyes or cut out paper to
make as eyes or whatever else you might want to add.
If you have a fishing line you can hang your bats,
or you could just place them around the house however you like.

National Good Neighbour Day
National Good Neighbour Day is September 28. It's the day when you really appreciate your neighbour. Most of us don't really stop to appreciate our neighbours for who they really are and what they do for us.
It's always good to make someone's day, you know fill someone's bucket of happiness.
(When my mom was a teenager, one day she copied and printed out little paper flowers and stapled them together with a nice little note she made and put one in each mail box of her neighbours.)
Ideas:
-leave a envelope or little note in there mail box to fill there day.
-if you see them down the street don't hesitate to say "hi" "how are you?" it can really make them feel special and warmed.
-you washing your car? wash there's while your at it.
-you can leave them a little "good box", with maybe some notes, flowers, perfume/cologne, candy....and you can even put "Happy Good Neighbour Day!"
There's so many things you can do. If you're an artist, draw them a picture. If you're a musician, sing them a song.
Remember even when it's not National Good Neighbour Day, always appreciate your neighbours!
