Who Ya Gonna Call?

With homemade costumes for all, we had a great Halloween night! Now, I sit here, various costume parts strewn throughout the house, with Asa, Addison and Ivey all doing laps in a sugary frenzy. Their costumes, which I finished this afternoon, were a hit. Ivey didn't notice her kitty cat ears (mounted on barrettes) and the boys proton packs sat on their backs nicely. Success!

In the past, I put a limit on candy intake, and we dished out a piece at a time after dinners from Halloween all the way until Christmas or later. This led to a constant candy supply. A perpetual never-ending bag of sugar. Now that I have two 6 year olds, I tried a new approach. No limit on Halloween night. They can eat candy until they puke it all up. At least this will put some sort of a dent in their supply. Will they vomit? Maybe. Will they be up all night bouncing off the walls in their room? Maybe. But, it's a small (and non life threatening) price to pay to have a huge jumpstart to reaching the bottom of those bags!
