She just likes opening everything and tasting it. She usually takes a bite, throws it out and tries something else. More of it goes in the garbage than her belly, but she thinks she gorged herself.Kind of Crunchy Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05925733135146093848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-82394922276781185642007-10-31T20:42:00.000-07:002007-10-31T20:42:00.000-07:00my six-year-old totally bought the "keep 6 because...my six-year-old totally bought the "keep 6 because you're 6" and then the rest to the candy fairy...Phyllis Sommerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16654761832717723000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-7335404179127189772007-10-31T11:56:00.000-07:002007-10-31T11:56:00.000-07:00thanks for the reminder - I usually put their buck...thanks for the reminder - I usually put their buckets of candy up high above the refrigerator and they ask me if they can have a piece or 2 - they don't usually cheat and climb on a chair b/c there's a few other siblings to tattle : )El Shaddai Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15875183231117805781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-49094997811703832302007-10-31T10:58:00.000-07:002007-10-31T10:58:00.000-07:00Once your kids are teens all bets or off.

We have several boys coming for a sleep over, so I will spend the night trying to feed them protein in between bites of candy.

Halloween night is a free for all, but starting Nov 1, he gets one piece of candy each night until I've eaten the rest.SAHMmy Sayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03312083333399431135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-74848013966528199662007-10-31T05:38:00.000-07:002007-10-31T05:38:00.000-07:00We haven't really trick or treated much, last year...We haven't really trick or treated much, last year we had over a foot of snow and it was -5C or so this year the boys have super bad colds, but I like the as much as their age idea. <BR/>My parents used to go through the candy after we were in bed and mom would take all the chocolate out (except a few bars) and she would hide it in the freezer and save it for bad lunches throughout the year. None of us really liked smarties or lollipops so she would save those and give them out the following year.

I, ho...Hey - That sounds like great and fair idea! I, however, let them go crazy - I don't know why. Maybe because there are four of them and I just gave up a long time ago. They do, however, forget about the candy as well - and that works out! I steal all the chocolate and put the rest away, just in case they ask. If they don't ask for a while, I trash it. My kids love candy (especially my boy) - they don't need it and neither do I. Have a great Halloween with your little ones. See ya later. (Thanks for the nice comments about the kids - I really appreciate your kindness). KellanKellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07882991320065439298noreply@blogger.com
