I’ve been eating the candy on an hourly basis.
Also, I’ve made peanut butter cup bars (Cooking Light) and Milky Way cake (Pioneer Woman). As if the candy needs more decadence. nom!

You know what makes those candy cravings even harder to resist? The existence of a daily word count goal during NaNoWriMo. I’m all, “Look, I wrote 2 paragraphs! I deserve a snickers!”

I’m great at self control, as you can tell.

What do we do with all the Candy… You SHOULD SEE the bag we have filled! A HUGE DSW bag filled to the brim of all sorts of good stuff that I posted to Instagram. It is crazy… But somehow we have managed to control the consumption… or maybe it just hasn’t hit us all that we REALLY have that much chocolate and candy in the house (a rarity!).

I thought it was kind of funny that my middle guy said: Mom, we are gonna have candy all the way up to Easter! Perfect timing! 🙂

Ha!

I just eat all the good stuff within the first couple days… get it over with quick.
After the kids eat their one to two pieces per day and then eventually forget about it I take it to work for the vultures…. I mean co-workers.

I started a CLEANSE the day after Halloween, so that’s the way I’m managing my candy consumption! That, and I ate like 10 pieces or more Monday night. 😉

My kids still have Halloween candy left from last year.
Why?

Because each October, we buy a ton of candy in the hopes that our neighborhood will be filled with trick or treaters.

And every October it isn’t.

So in addition to the candy my kids gather themselves, we have ALLLLL the stuff we don’t hand out to other kids that we dole out between the two of them.

They are misers and eat one precious piece at a time.
Then forget about their bags in a few weeks.

Until the dogs get into the cabinet where we store them…

Then?

We all remember.

Guess what?
I don’t like chocolate.
So there.
That’s my vice.
My kryptonite is the candy of the jelly or sucker variety and i will be eating them: TRUTH.

I have no self-control. We, however, have over a thousand people who stop by our house to trick-or-treat. By 8:00 PM, I’m usually into the kids’ candy – stealing it to continue feeding the masses. As a result there is little left to taunt me. ; )
