the good, the bad and the agony of the cost

LOVE Reeses sticks and baby ruth minis.

for sugary stuff like nerds.... just not my thing.

And, ah- the irony of spending $20 (or more) to load us all up on sugary snacks that I normally won't let my kids even look at. I wonder if that is the real reason this "holiday" is so popular?

Oh yes definately.. lots of candy

I try and buy enough good stuff to give out one each and then something cheaper so that I actuall hand out two candies each.

I don't tend to put too much of a limit on that first night of eating the candy.. and after that the kids have gotten pretty good at spreading it out (and sharing with mom

).. so I don't find it too incredibly annoying.

Melinda, we make up bags of candy (I remember LOVING those when I was a kid). Inside we put a Prolife Sticker

with 4 - 5 yummy candies. My kids love preppin' them and it's all part of the anticipation! Last year our block got 180 kids!!

I love this idea. Where do you get the stickers?

Way to go Melinda

And it looks like God showed His approval with your decision too, with the free shipping
