Yes, we had a candy party!
Steve and I are so tired of the candy from Halloween.
Our two children ask for it from the time they wake up until the time they go to bed. They have even taken several pieces without asking. So we decided to have a candy party tonight that lasted 30 minutes!
The party rules were: sort the candy, eat as much as you want, and when 30 minutes is up we throw the rest of the candy away. It worked like a charm! Caroline got her share of candy, she wasted little time, and even told with her entire class about our candy party today at school. After a few minutes Ryan was tired of eating candy and ready to play trains on the computer. The candy has now been taken away and we can start tomorrow without the sugar! Yeah! Candy is so so yummy, but it makes for grumpy, cranky, and whiny children. I think this will begin a tradition we have every Halloween night! Eat what you can during the party and the rest is history.
Try having a candy party of your very own today!
