We had Trunk or Treat at church. The kids made quite a haul and were very wired on candy (no different than me when I was little). I remember my parents letting me take my whole Halloween bucket and keep it in my room. I could eat it whenever I wanted. So I guess I am a "mean" mom, because we already took our kids candy away and are rationing it. I still haven't decided if it is better to let them gorged and be done with it or drag it out over the next few months until only stale pieces are left that no one wants anyway. Grace sure enjoyed getting the candy. I caught her taking Daddys big snickers bar and hiding under the desk! We enjoyed visiting our neighbors and for most of them we were the only ones who knocked on their doors. It was a rainy night and our streets have no street lights. I wouldn't trick or treat there either if I didn't live there. I would go to well lighted subdivisions where the houses are close to together. I hope everyone had a great Halloween. We are now entering my favorite time of year...Thanksgiving and Christmas! We are getting ready for Disneyland too. The kids are earning their Disney dollars and are excited it is only a few weeks away. We get to fly this year (great deals on Alaska).

We ration the candy out too. I know too many kids that have eaten so much they ended up puking, and I don't want to deal with that! Plus, learning moderation in all things is a good lesson. We are so excited for Disneyland too! I finally paid for our packages yesterday so we are all set now! Caitie is saving her allowance so that she has some money to spend there. What kinds of things are your kids doing to earn their Disney dollars?
Hi Liz! Cute pictures. I see you had some princesses, too. That's what all three of mine were: Ariel (the Bride), Mulan and Snow White. It worked out well because we went to Disneyland a couple of weeks ago and dressed up to eat at Ariel's Grotto (California Adventure) Killed two birds with one stone, I guess. Have fun at Disney. We had a blast - it's such a magical place for adults and children alike. We did a big "family reunion" thing - 23 in our group!
