Happy Halloween everyone! I'm not the biggest fan of this holiday, I'll admit! I love the decorations and I don't even mind the dressing up! But going around and begging for candy, is definately not my favorite part! Well, really I hate all the candy being brought home! I mean, really, do kids really need all that sugar?
So, we've come up with a new little plan this year (inspired by an idea my friend and neighbor shared with us). When we get home from trick-or-treating this year, my kids will each get to pick out 3 candies to enjoy! Then we will put ALL the candy in a bowl and leave it for the Great Pumpkin! Tomorrow morning, the Great Pumpkin will have taken the candy and left them a family toy/game/movie in it's place! Oh, and the Great Pumpkin doesn't want to eat all that sugar either, so he/she will be throwin it away, but shhh don't tell the kids! I hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween today!

Such a cute idea- I am already sick of all the candy around here! But Evan did say that yesterday was "the funnest day of his life."
Great idea. I just ration it out a little at a time.
