20 lbs...

[Laurabearz]

That's how much candy my three children received last night.

Almost 7 lbs a piece!!!

I am impressed.

wow, that's quite a bit of candy!!! The only time we get close to that much is MNSSHP!!! Will your kids go through all that?

Halloween night DD just wants to get dressed up and go out to see her friends. She will do our cul-de-sac and DH will offer to go around the corner and do the main street. She usually would rather come home and hand out candy and see all the other costumes. She received maybe 20 pieces of candy. She is the type that will eat some that night, but then forget all about it soon. We end up sharing it with her friends.

I take it and they get to add a piece or two in their lunches for the next year, and pretty much anytime they ask for a piece I say sure... but the novelty wears off after a week or two so we end up tossing a lot of it out.

OT, but aren't you the one with the hilarious trip report about Hilton Head?

Any chance you have time to update, or even give a quickie synopsis of the ending?

(and if I have you confused with someone else, my apologies and enjoy the candy!)

 

[Laurabearz]

that would be me, and I really should get back to it because the best is yet to come, but life has gotten complicated.

I promise I will complete it, just not sure when.

(and thanks so much for considering it hilarious, truth is always better than fiction)

Okay, then. I understand complicated. I can be patient.

and you're welcome - and yeah, real life is often funnier than anything you could make up!
