Folks. I think way too much candy has... passed by MY lips and into my chubby belly.
Ugh.
I'm going to be sick. At the time, it seemed like such a great idea - forgetting my inability to stop until it's all gone, I am certainly paying the price now.
Someone pass me some water... and an Advil, Aleeve or Tylenol Ultra.
Halloween is a killer for me and I need to find a way around this day of begging and over-indulgence. Sure, the kids were great, but as a parent, we have to look after our kids teeth and bellies, right?
What really did me in this year was carrying my second child around. He's just over a year old and he's heavy. Plus, I ate all the candy that was given to him which I like but never eat.
Both boys brought in a lot of candy this evening.
The best part of collecting Halloween candy in our house is our policy that the kids trade us their candy for a pre-purchased toy. Works every time. The kids do not eat much junk food (we really don't either) but they love toys.
On the way back to our house we stopped by - as promised - to see Haley-o, Josh-o, the Cheaty Monkey and Rascal. After picking up some much needed candy (lol) I put down the now uber-heavy 1-year-old and he crawled right into their house and disappeared in the family room with the toys. Then came my 3-year-old, and my wife, disappearing into the house leaving Josh-o and I at the door to chat about computers and give out candy together... fun.
After about 15 minutes, we dragged the kids back into the wagon and shleped them home.
No more candy... please...

Sounds like a pretty fun halloween! I need to go brush my teeth now, again, too much sugar today! I've been a little hyper all day, guess we know why.
