I think I'm exhausted enough being a parent to my own children 24/7 that I don't want to waste any energy parenting OTHER people's children. :P<br /><br />I love having treats for the kids that last the whole year long (the kids were literally still picking out of their 2011 stash the day before Halloween this year). They eat most within the first week of course, and then the novelty wears off and it's just handy to have those little treats around all year. <br /><br />I see the benefit of donating the candy somewhere, but on the other hand, as someone who has to spend at least $60 on treats every year for our 300+ visitors (which, to us, is a LOT of money!)...it just seems like what's the point then if the parents just want the candy out of their house.

The black gooy stuff looks like a lot of fun! Buy a few more of those and I suspect you could exchange A LOT of candy for one of those.<br /><br />As for the teenagers on their cell phones - get your cell phone and pretend to talk and ignore them! See if they get the hint. I'm tough on teens that trick or treat. If they want something from me - they've got to sing or something like that. If they're really into it, great but if they're being rude, I don't think so!Ginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08519367556701136476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-87297114660110056.post-11138747347551255492012-11-03T09:22:55.944-05:002012-11-03T09:22:55.944-05:00I laughed out loud at the look on Emmett's fac...I laughed out loud at the look on Emmett's face-- he certainly is the cutest construction worker. I liked your ideas on what to do with the extra candy. We've rationed in the past as well, and (aside from Troy and I eating the chocolate bars--guilty!!), the other candy lasts well into the new year. Hmm. I wonder if she'd go for the "buy back"...Jevnenoreply@blogger.com
