The Halloween Hangover

So it's 2 days after Halloween and my kids? well they are about as active as this guy here.

Fall Storm means Fallen Chair weather

We had 12 visitors this year,  and this was the first year I stayed home with my hubbie. The two younger boys went out with friends to gather supplies for winter? Well they wont last to the first day of winter at this rate.  I know this is fact.
My new plan? Let them have at it. I didn't let them eat it all yesterday because it was a school day, but once they were home for the weekend? well it's safer for us all if they eat it themselves. I'm not going to police the treats, I'm not going to take away treats and I'm not going to tell them they can't have what they worked to get.  I will though enforce the school's 1 treat per lunch/snack per day just to keep the teachers happy. Them  being loopy and bouncy on school time isn't fair to the teachers but them being crazy or lazy on my time totally reasonable. I'm also hoping they will not fall into trap where they think because someone said they can't have it? they have inhale it all before someone takes it, or someone says they can't eat it or they are hiding it in their bellies. No one can steal your treats if they are already in your belly.

The costumes are being washed and stored today and we'll move on to the Remembering of those who were lost and those who fought in the First and Second World Wars and other Wars that have happened along the way.

I hope you all are enjoying your Halloween Hangovers.

(edit for spelling and oopsies, really enhale is inhale... I'm going to need less chocolate brain)

I just sent this to you in a message from my blog so it's redundant but my kids went nuts on the candy. I only allow 3 pieces after dinner and none at lunch (school policy) and their eyes were wild last night. Back to one piece each. It should all last until next year.
