First things first. Josh had to sort the candy we bought FOR the trick-or-treaters so that we kept all of the good stuff. Funny how the child in us comes out so easily on days like this. :)
The Skeleton Baby...
The Spider girl...
The Child Witch!
Ah HA HA Ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaa...
We only took the kids up one street really. When the door was opened and a person held out the candy bowl saying "take two or three..." Laney would take two or three. Then when the person would look at another child and say "take two or three..." - Laney would take two or three again.
If there was a bowl of candy left outside the door, Laney would drop to her knee's, put her bucket right next to the bowl and start shoving handfuls inside. We had to keep telling her "Just take one Laney, then say thank you!" She just couldn't help herself.
It was a fun improvement from last year when we went to the first house and she just wanted to sit down and eat the two pieces of chocolate she had. This year she understood it too well.
She ended up with 138 pieces of candy, FROM ONE STREET and one culdesac. Maybe 25 homes...
Josh took Kadie to Blackhawk after our neighborhood and they were gone until 10:00!
Kadie came home with a pillowcase full of candy to add to her full bucket.
I know Josh was using her as his scapegoat.
Luckily the Pumpkin Fairy came last night and took most (but not all) of the candy.
She left some treats, play dough and tic tac toe games instead.
Thank you pumpkin Fairy. :)
We hope you had a Happy Halloween too!

Hmmm the pumpkin fairy...that is really smart! Does the pumpkin fairy get to eat all the candy herself?
Yeah, we'll have to get the pumpkin fairy to visit our house too! Good idea!

Good idea with the Pumpkin Fairy! My friends parents used to give their kids the option to keep their candy or give it to them (which got chucked in the trash) and they got money for it.
And, Josh seperating the candy...Spence did something similar...he bought the crappiest candy to hand out to the kids.
The pumpkin fairy needs to come to my house. We only had a few trick-or-treaters, so I have to eat a lot of leftover candy. Darn it...
Love the kids' costumes! Also, I've never really thought of Josh as a grown-up. I've seen the kid in him come out way too many times to ignore it.
I need a pumpkin fairy to come take my kids candy away because I'm eating ALL of it! :) haha. CUTE COSTUMES!
