My husband and in-laws took my three year old fuchsia lady bug
(Tara), my four year old Spiderman girl (Tristen) and my six year old Pink and
Yellow butterfly (Savannah) around my subdivision. I just can't
adequately relay to you how much candy is in my house (they had parties at
play practice last night, at school [preschool] today, at a Fall Festival
early this afternoon and at church after that and they each [plus my
ten year old rock star who didn't T or T, but gave out candy with the little
neighbor girl next door, while I gave it out here] dragged home bags full of
candy from each of those places before even beginning to trick or
treat). I will definitely be making a trip to the St.
Vincent dePaul food pantry to drop most of it (quite literally as much as a
13-gallon trash bag can hold) off after mass tomorrow---that would just be
ASKING for trouble (not to mention extremely wasteful and greedy) to keep that
much candy around.
