The loot!!!

We are a candy loving family. We love sugar, sugar, and more sugar. Halloween is made for people like us.

One year I challenged myself to go without candy. I can't remember the result, but I do remember I surprised myself. I think I mostly did it.

I am not going without candy. My children are not turning their candy into the dentist for money. We will eat it. All of it. All 20 pounds of Kit-Kats, Reese's, Snickers, Twix, and more. We will enjoy the Laffy Taffy and Skittles. We will let the Whoppers melt in our mouth and break the 3 Musketeers into pieces. We will savor the Peanut Butter M&M's and eventually get desperate and eat the Crunch and Jolley Ranchers.

We will also try to brush our teeth a lot so they don't rot. We will take the dog for long walks so we don't get fat. And, we will not buy candy until 2013.

Yes. I said it. We might crave Junior Mints and Smarties. We might wish we could have a Blow-Pop. But we will suffer through. We will sacrifice and endure the hardship. We have all agreed.

Wish us luck!!!
