This year we had a great Halloween. Melanie and Lily even made it in the local newspaper when we took them trick-or-treating at Treats in the Streets in Old Town Orange.
It's a great way to meet the neighbors and see all the other costumes. The tough part is trying to keep them from eating all the candy. We usually hide it and let them have 1 piece a day but this year we
decided to participate in a program with our dentist where he buys back
the candy from kids and sends it to our troops.
As you can see from the picture below, the girls weren't too happy at first.
But we quickly turned those frowns upside down, when they used the money to buy new books.
What a great way to fight cavities, right? I'd love to hear what you gals do with all that candy, and I better not hear that YOU eat it :-)
OK, I might be guilty of that.
