Halloween is the one night I just can’t hate sugar. The kids have so much fun, and it makes great memories!
Here’s how FFM handled the candy situation last night:
1. We collected all the kids wanted.
2. They ate however much they wanted last night. It ended up being about 5 pieces.
3. They put their hard candy in a bag to send to soldiers in Afghanistan.
4. THEY CHOSE how many pieces to keep and how many to leave for the Great Pumpkin. (The more they give, the better the prize.)
5. They ended up keeping about 6 pieces (which they are allowed to eat at any time without asking).
6. All the rest of the candy we had around as decorations was sent to work with GBD.
So the kids had a blast, I let them eat all they wanted, and THEY limited THEMSELVES to ~11 pieces total!
We’re right back on track this morning! I hope your family had a Happy Halloween!
Great way to handle it! :-)
