What Will You Do With All that Halloween Candy?
One fun thing about having twins or multiples at Halloween ... double the candy! But while collecting the treats is fun, dealing with the sugary aftermath can be tricky. It's just too tempting -- especially for kids -- to eat the sweet stuff at a stomach-churning pace. Parents have to give some thought to how they'll manage the candy madness, and perhaps even plan some alternatives in advance.
So, how do you handle the Halloween candy? Leave a comment and share your strategies.
In the meantime, submit your photos from Halloween 2009. Were your twins a gruesome twosome? Or a darling duo? Did they wear the same costumes, sport a coordinated theme, or take a completely unique approach? Please follow the guidelines on the submission form when sending your pictures, being sure to include all the required information and the release statement. I look forward to receiving them and including them in the Halloween Photo Gallery. Don't forget to share your candy control strategies! Leave a comment and vote in the poll.
This year we have decided, since it was the twins first trick-r-treating, to let them (and their sisters) put the gift bag treats into a bucket and eat what is in them. The rest of the candy goes into another bucket and when we go to the movies we will bring some with us. (We know that you are not suppose to bring in food to the movies, but with four girls, you have to cut corners somehow)
