Fancy That!

My house has become an accumulation of pounds of candy overnight!!! Not only did my hubby buy 4 bags of candy; he insisted we keep 3 of them for our local trick-or-treaters. Last night we had all of 2 children ring the door bell for it. I can't believe that the old fashioned ways are going to the wayside even in a housing development where houses are close and streets are lighted. Families are going to bigger events sponsored by churches or communities. Halloween night we could've gone to any number of trunk-or-treats sponsored by churches, block parties, hayrides, the mall, etc. Some of these had inflatable toys for the kids to jump and play. The event at my church was so very crowded but fun to see everyone.

I made sure the little fella was fed a meal before we got in the car. As soon as we were finished, the candy bag was intercepted and hidden in the back of the car while he was distracted by one of us. Some of it was stashed in a cold place. We'll use a little of it at a time. I'm not sitting a bowl out or letting him see the bag of candy to keep asking for it every day.

I can only hope for the radio announcement I heard last year to replay. A local dentist was offering to buy back candy from kids to send it to Iraq. The soldiers could distribute it to the children over there. I'll be listening today!!
