    Nope. It's in the back of my car, I'm looking for the right bridge to throw it off.

    There are some places that will take your leftover candy and send it to the troops who are deployed oversees.
    The gym in our building at work is doing that.

    Didn't need to. I have an unopened bag of snickers at home because we had a grand total of zero trick or treaters lastnight.

    However, I did eat some of the candy, because the boy has decided he doesn't like candy anymore. His health class taught him it wasn't any good. I'll correct him once the candy is gone.

    Really? Fun size = 8 m&ms? That is so few I would cry. That's just wrong.

    Parent tax = Brilliance.

    Mine are stealing from me because I buy a better class of candy than the trick-or-treat mess. The bargaining will commence this evening. One kit kat for one completed laundry load. You want a full sized candy bar? Go pick up the dog crap.

    Was there a doubt?!?! I have had a truck load (see diary). I do try to steal stuff that I like, but they aren't so fond of...like Almond Joy and plain Hershey's.

    I keep my hands out of their loot bags for a few days, but, once the novelty wears off (and they start to forget that they had memorized exactly how many little packages of nibs they each got) then I still start to treat myself.

    I was rather impressed with their haul this year, no cheapie crappy candies, but quality chocolate and salty chips in conveniently labelled 90 calorie packages!

    How are your kids not begging for their candy? That was like the only time of year my Mom would let me have candy, and all day I would obsess and think about my candy. It never lasted more than a week. I'd even eat the nasty gum ball candy.

    Hmmmm no wonder...

    you're a genius. I keep saying the only reason I want a kid is so I have someone to clean the house for me. I think I should probably adopt one already equipped for cleaning capabilities though, plus that way I can also bargain and bribe.

    Didn't have to raid it... my daughter freely offered to share her candy. She's 5. She doesn't know any better. :devil:

    It's called "mom tax" and yes, I made myself sick on the tax I collected!

    I have a 3 year old, I gave him 5 and he was beyond thrilled.

    If I can find somewhere to drop it off like that I will.

    I "tax" my kids. I get every Almond Joy.

    I get less and less every year - I think they are cheating and choosing other candies or eating them before they get home. :D

    I didn't eat any of it...they hid it from me.

    This post just reminded me that I should go look in the office break room for candy castoffs.:laugh:

    I have an allergic kid so I got her ENTIRE SASH. That's right, you heard me. BOW BEFORE THE MASTER, PUNY HUMANS.

    I bought enough different kinds of peanut free safe candy, pre-Halloween that I could swap the pumpkins when she wasn't looking. (She's 3).

    And NOW ALL THE REESES ARE BELONG TO ME!!!

    Nope, took a vow with my group not to, and I didn't. She did give me everything with peanuts in it though. It's sitting on my husbands dresser right now. She's not allergic and loves peanut butter, but for some reason when it's in candy.... she avoids it at all costs, lol.

    Last night I ate Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins like a meth addict who hadn't had a fix for a week would snort a bag (I'm just guessing on that, but I think that's probably pretty bad)! Or, I was like a brainless zombie devouring brains. Ugh!
