The last thing two active little boys need is sugar. Well, last year the boys Halloween candy lasted all the way to Easter since we try to limit how much they can eat each day. So, Dennis came up with an idea, he offered the boys a trade. He offered them money for their candy so that they could go buy a small toy or they could have an action figure we had already bought. The boys could choose how much candy they wanted to trade and thus how much money they would get. Surprisingly, both boys said Dennis could have all their candy! We let them keep a few pieces, but they gave us all the candy and in exchange they took the action figures. They were super excited and so were we. I think we will make this our new tradition!
Of course after the boys went to bed Dennis and I went through the candy and put our favorites aside, I couldn't possibly throw away Reese's peanut butter cups afterall! The majority we put with some canned goods and such to go to needy families (we probably are only supposed to give nutritious food, but it didn't seem right to throw away a huge bag of candy).
Logan had a great day today, he was so chill that he fell asleep in the cart at Walmart!
