Oh how scary! A princess, a ghost, an 80's person and a witch. The girls had a great time this Halloween. They got to go trick-or-treating 2 times this year. Once at church and once with Nana and Papa. Well, Bryon and I discussed the candy situation after the ward trunk or treat. We decided that instead of having a month long battle with candy, we would just let them go crazy! Well, they did just that. Taylor and Rebeckah ate most of their candy in one day! Saturday morning they woke up wanting to eat candy. We laid down the ground rules - they could eat all the candy they wanted today - but after today it was gone. They started shortly after 8 am and didn't stop eating candy until 8 pm that same night. They were so sick to their stomach - Taylor even decided that she wasn't going to eat again until next Halloween. In hein sight I don't know if our decision to do this was such a great idea. They were crazy Saturday as we were trying to grocery shop - Rebeckah was running around in circles in Sam's. The cashier asked if she was ok - I simply relayed our decision and she just laughed.
On our way home from church today, Rebeckah announced that she was hungry. I told her when we got home I would make her some lunch. She started scream and kicking "I don't want food. I don't like food. I want CANDY!!!" What did we get ourselves into?!

ha ha thats funny. its amazing how we chose to do the opposite thng. i broke open all the candy, rockets m&ms smarties, skittles I mean everything. sorted them into all their assorted kinds & put them in tupperware containers. Now i control how much she gets. Instead of a whole pack of skittles or rockets she gets 3 and etc. Call me anal!
Your girls were so cute. It was fun to get together. I love your background. Need to update mine.
We let the older kids just have their bags to do with what they wish..But they can control themselves now. But the 2 younger we take..But the day after halloween we let them just go for it. We call it "candy diving" After that they get 2 candys a day...as long as they eat their dinner and all their veggies.. But hey its once a year..candy diving is what its all about right???
