Best Halloween Tip Ever!

Happy Halloween, everybody!  Don't you just love Halloween?  I sure do.  I had to wear a uniform in high school, so Halloween was a really big deal for us.  It was an excuse not to wear our uniforms, and we definitely didn't waste it.  Well, some people did.  Every year there was always a student or two who would dress up as a student from the other Catholic high school.  So, instead of wearing our maroon and grey uniform, they wore the other school's blue and green uniform.  Weirdos.  One year I made a half man half woman costume.  It was awesome.  One year I went as a housewife.  That's funny, seeing as it is my current line of work. 


Last Friday my husband and I went to a Halloween party.  He was Waldo and I was a detective - looking for Waldo.  Not bad, eh?  The girls are both princesses for Halloween.  Obviously.


Anyway.  This is a Halloween tip I came up with last year, but it's a good one, so I thought I'd share it again.


When the girls go to bed on Halloween night, I sort through their Halloween candy. I take out all of the Coffee Crisps and put them in a bowl, just for me. You know, because coffee isn't good for little ones. Then I take out all the Skittles and put it in my bowl.  Because they're a choking hazard. I take the chips out and put them in my bowl as well, because chips are addictive and I'm trying to nip that type of behaviour in the bud. I take out all the Kit Kats and put them in my bowl because they're my husband's favourite. Finally, I take out all the suckers and put them in my bowl because the girls always manage to get them stuck in their hair. That leaves them with the Rockets. I think that's some darn good parenting, don't you?
