This years candy stash......




Chris and Laurie are sleeping over at friends this year so I don't have pictures of them or their stash from trick or treating - in fact Chris is at a party so isn't going trick or treating at all....but here are the pictures of the younger three! When we got home we sorted out all the gum and got rid of that (not allowed in this house) and then threw everything into one big box. Chips and juice boxes are for school. Candy is shared out amongst them and LIMITED for a few days and then I put some away in the freezer for decorating cookies/ gingerbread houses and the rest gets put in the garbage. Some gets sent to the UK......some is used for family movie nights/ games nights.

What do you do with yours? With 5 children we tend to get a lot - Laurence will be out for hours and will come home with a crazy amount :( they get carried away. We didn't stay out long tonight - not as long as last year.

Ok I'm sleepy now finally...Lloyd is watching Ghostbusters with Sam who is still awake amazingly....weird because he didn't have much candy at all - we didn't let him have hardly any because it was evening - Sam doesn't do well with candy so we limit it after a certain time - he can have some in the morning! But still, he's excited because of the fun of the day :) He's enjoying the movie too :) I remember going to see this movie - the teachers were on strike and my WHOLE class packed the cinema out and the staff at the cinema kept coming to tell us off and it was so much fun! OMG I remember it like it was yesterday :) I remember planning that in French class.......in the language lab!!! Louise????? Do you remember that????

Goodnight everyone - I hope you had a wonderful Halloween 2008!!!!!! Didn't it come around again so fast?????
