Halloween is the kick off to the seasonal candy that I love and I am not safe until Easter. I don't know why little bite sized candies in various shapes taste better than the originals, but they just do!!
My 2 boys got about 5 pounds of candy each from trick-or-treating. My older son, took out 20 of his favorite pieces and asked that the rest be donated to the military overseas. My younger son is allergic to nuts and has only a few favorite kinds of candy, so he kept a few pieces and gave the rest of his candy to his friends that he trick-or-treated with. Who are these people? Even though I gave birth to both of them, I'm pretty sure we aren't related! When I was a kid, my whole life revolved around candy and doing whatever it took to get it. There is no way I would have donated any of it and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have let allergies stop me either. Epi pen, Benedryl, adrenalin, I could have figured out how to self-administer them if it meant candy!!
As an adult; here is what happened:
Glass half empty version - I ate a ton of Halloween candy; did I really need to buy 2 big bags of candy when I know we get very few trick-or-treaters? In my defense, we did get more kids than last year.
Glass half full version - I discarded the left over Halloween candy before eating the entire bag. Hurray for me!
In reality, I'm not safe from my candy addiction until Easter and I will be white knuckling it all the way!!
