We escorted Merlin and Captain Hook through the neighborhood. They were calling for rain, but we seriously lucked out with the weather - especially because part of C's Hook costume is made with coffee filters. M's Merlin costume was great at keeping him warm, although he later ditched the felt beard.
You night remember that C has a real sweet tooth, needless to say he was ecstatic about going door to door and asking for candy - both of them 'shopping' the bowls for their favorites, despite our reminders not to. However, they both told us they were done for the night and we skipped a block or two on the way home.
We let them have a couple of pieces that night and then they have the choice of keeping the candy or picking out a dozen pieces {to be doled out} and trading the rest in for a small toy. Do any of you put any limits on the candy for your kids?
hope you had a great Halloween!
And yes, success. Only one piece on Saturday and one piece on Sunday and the plan is no more - I will miss it.
{Did you see that Colbert Report where he is waxing poetic about the wonder of sugar and that it is Jesus's dandruff? That is what pops into my head now when I think about it.}
