Q&A Friday!!!
Happy Halloween!
For our last October blog, noodlers would like to know: What are you giving out to trick-or-treaters this year? Tootsie Rolls or Toothbrushes? Nerds or Necco wafers?

We never have any trick-or-treaters show up at our door (too far off the main road). I haven't bought Halloween candy in years.
Happy Halloween, everyone! Enjoy the fun :-)!
Fun size chocolate bars. We live within a block of an elementary school, junior high, and high school, so we see a lot of little ones (adorable) and a few big ones (unnerving).
:-)
Candy bars--fun size.
I hear you on the big kids, Judy. We have a rule in our house, you can go trick or treating after 5th grade (when elementary school ends) but you have to do it for Unicef. And I make their little friends do it as well. :) I love our neighbors, though, they always give candy too.
And now my high-schoolers are going to parties. Yikes! That's a scary Halloween for me, even if I am driving them.
Terry,
See, I'd buy it even if I didn't have trick-or-treaters! My favorite are fun-size butterfingers.
Judy,
I bet you go through the candy. We live on a dark cul-de-sac, so I don't get as many trick-or-treaters as I buy candy for. I don't mind the older kids coming. They're staying out of trouble!
I broke down and bought a bag of candy today. I was thinking about giving out quarters. We have so few kids come, and I hate to have the leftover candy sitting around here for me to eat.
I don't buy candy either. We never get any kids down our long road. If I buy it, I would eat it. If someone did happen to come by I guess I'll grab some quarters!
Happy Halloween!
The conversation this morning at breakfast:
He: I guess we'd better buy two or three bags of candy for trick-or-treaters.
She: It's supposed to be pouring rain and everyone's afraid of their kids getting swine flu with the candy. Not three. One, maybe two bags at the most.
He: You don't have to eat it. We could just throw it away.
She: (Silence as she shudders, picturing chocolate hitting the garbage.)
He: All right, what kind of candy don't you like?
She: (Greater, more incredulous silence.)
He: So there's no kind of candy you don't like?
She: Not unless it's something every kid hates too.
Alas, He brought home three bags of Butterfingers, York's Peppermint Patties and Hershey's everything.
Delle, I can HEAR that conversation!
Gillian, what a great idea with the Unicef!
As to if-its-in-the-house-I-eat-it, I found that it's worse for me if I don't have it in the house. If there's plenty in the house, I eat less rather than more.
A tootsie roll mix! If I don't eat it all first.
