so, I am usually very conscience of what we eat around here. but that is hard to do on Halloween. So, I have let the kids have some freedom to eat some candy. They have made good choices and I am glad. I put a bowl out and said anything you don't want goes in there, and they actually put stuff in! and they continue to do it. sometimes trading but still putting stuff they don't want or won't eat in there. I told them today was the last day and it will go away.
My husband said someone at work yesterday told him they have a "halloween witch" that comes a few days after halloween. the kids pick 5 favorites and they set the rest on the porch and in the morning the "halloween witch" has replaced the candy with a toy! I think that is brilliant! I have tried to pay my kids for the candy, but I guess they are spoiled enough (and deprived enough of junk food) that the candy is more valuable. LOL My husband and I don't like the witch idea, but we are thinking of calling in the "harvest fairy" with a similar job description.
I am getting over the few days of poor nutrition provided by all that candy, but it's the tooth decay I am worried about. we have bad enough teeth around here anyway! hopefully I can convince them to be done today. I was even a little sick yesterday after indulging in a few treats from the throw away bowl. I finally threw it away this morning, the temptation was too great.
well, all in all a good fun time and now we are in NOVEMBER! wow time sure flies!
