I have always been of the opinion that the kids should eat it all right away, brush their teeth for 10 minutes and go to bed with a stomach ache. <BR/><BR/>Jonah and Isaac still get a small amount of candy, but Ethan is getting to the point where his candy haul is obscene. So, I've tried to implement ways to get rid of the candy. This includes throwing some of it out when they aren't looking, tell them that the Halloween Witch will leave them a toy in exchange fot their candy, and freezing some of it to use on gingerbread houses later in the year.<BR/><BR/>I am submitting an article to www.trackmyfoodstorage.com on this very subject. I'm not sure when it will be posted though. I can send you a copy. I think there are also ideas for chopping up candy bars to use as chocolate chip substitutes in cookies.<BR/><BR/>Basically, I want to get rid of the candy as fast as possible. If you portion it out, it could last until Easter, and that is a whole other candy mess.Aftonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241351509996548332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417863252069116618.post-67091594155620542922007-10-22T08:47:00.000-07:002007-10-22T08:47:00.000-07:00do you guys moderate, then, how your kids eat the ...do you guys moderate, then, how your kids eat the Halloween candy, like 3 pieces a day or something? I think that sounds like a good idea but Derek thinks we should just let the kids eat it all as fast as they want and then be done with it.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15025438332402459232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417863252069116618.post-40779132820264411472007-10-22T07:39:00.000-07:002007-10-22T07:39:00.000-07:00Sounds like the girls; although they don't have a ...Sounds like the girls; although they don't have a map just yet. I did the same thing last year with their candy. They came back dumped it out and went back out for more.meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01498635852180397318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2417863252069116618.post-44668634966560397772007-10-20T13:06:00.000-07:002007-10-20T13:06:00.000-07:00Aaaaahahahahahahahahaha!
