Rachel - that picture reminds me soooooooooooooo much of when my Brian was that age! I have the same exact picture of him (different costume of course!) sitting at our table with all the candy he collected displayed just like that!
Jonni is out taking Ted around now. As well as three neighbor kids. It isn't even dark yet. They don't have many places to go. They will be back very soon.

We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.
Athena got a big haul like that too! Dad had a little pumpkin thing for her to put candy in and I said, ummmm you may want to get a plastic walmart bag to take too.
I took a huge purse with me and had to empty his bag 2 times. Then we came back to the house and emptied it again. After that we filled it up one more time going to another subdivision.

If you never have you should. These things are fun and fun is good.
Did he get candy at school? Athena got two HUGE bags of candy there too...I swear they're trying to make the kids hyper forever. I would only let Athena pick out 2 pieces tonight.
He got a little at school. They went to a play at the Cincinnati Children's Theater to see High School Musical. When they got back they had pizza and put on their costumes. I went up to the school while they had a parade in their costumes. But, we ended up with 100 Airheads and 400 Dum Dum suckers. Jeremy was going to give out candy tonight and he had to go out of town tonight.

It sounds like fun, Rachel. Too bad Jeremy couldn't be home, though.

Rachel, it sounds like Brennan had a wonderful time tonight--And it certainly looks like he did !!! it was nice of you to post a picture.
I think my girls liked the part where they came home & divided up thier candy almost as much as the part where they went out & got it. they would each get a bowl for their candy & then trade candy with each other. They would then make their father a bowl of any left over candy (read---candy they did not like).

When I was a kid I even ate the candy I didn't like eventually.
Guess the halloween specific decs need to come down today....I have a few electric light up pumpkins with words on them like Boo and scary faces....I'll leave them out and just turn them around so they are just fallish....but there are a few things that def. gotta go. I'm not one for leaving stuff up for a month or two after a holiday is over.
Mine are coming down today too, loz - just as soon as it warms up a bit!
We only had about 8 small groups of trick or treaters last night. I have 3 LARGE bags of candy left, that I'm hoping Target will take back, as there were not Halloween candy, but candy bags from the regular aisle. I hope they don't give me a hard time - that was a lot of money!!!
Lynne--you were smart not to open all your candy--I even opened up what I bought at the grocery yesterday. Good news is, my little neighbor came over last night---they say the last half hour she was out trick or treating she kept saying "go see carol"---so I gave her several boxes of animal crackers & small bags of gummy bears--that much less at my house. (not to worry the DH will have it all gone by monday morning
Yea, Loz--I would have eaten ALL my candy---but I usually got rid of what i did'nt like first---saved the4 best for last---
