I'm not familiar with Fritzing, but there has to be better ways to organize/layout this schematic. I guess practice makes perfect.
What are you trying to accomplish?
Where's the sensor in your schematic?

sensor is led with transistor, i want turn on LCD when sensor start to drive, sensor start to drive when to cover up, sensor is tcrt5000

Do you mean turn OFF the LCD Completely ?
If so, use a transistor or MOSFET as a switch to cut off the LCD power supply. You can use the same reset connection to do so

Because you are just turning backlit on and off.
Try turning on the whole LCD. This way when LCD turns on and uC resets it will start the code when the LCD lights

circuit work fine now, but i wont reduce mA in standby how can i do?
standby --> 74mA
one sensor cover up --> 88mA
two sensor cover up --> 90mA

Before one sensor...now two ???
Make up your mind. Do not throw bits and piece at us.

Reducing stby current is lot of work.
Code needs to be optimized for low power consumption and proper circuit design is also needed.
