Halloween 2015

 Nerd, spider man, Elsa, Swat, spider man
 My girls are the only ones I could get to pose for a picture.  The boys were off running around with guns and swords.
We have SO much candy.  I know everyone feels that way...but you don't understand my children. Trunk-or-treat Friday night and then Trick-or-treating Saturday. Especially Eden, it's business! Seven greedy, sugar addict monsters running house to house. When they get home I give them three Ziploc bags: 1)for gingerbread houses in December  2) for their 72 hour kits  3) school lunch treats 

Then I let them binge eat all night.  While they are distracted I fill a couple of Ziploc bags for stockings and present toppers.  I also put together a bag for Paul's office.  Whew!  The hardest part is not to eat all this 'hidden' candy in the house.   

We still have a huge bucket after all this!  Oh Halloween

P.S.  I also give them an option to leave their candy outside for the 'candy fairy'.  In exchange for their candy she leaves a present or money.  David LOVES this.  He's the only one who puts candy out.
