Halloween and Trick or Treating

It is Halloween and I will be Trick or Treating for maybe the last time. James is now 11 and quickly going on 12.  He is very close to mandatory retirement for Trick or Treaters.

Some parents may let their children T or T as long as they want, but I don't. One reason is; the boys in my family tend to shave at an early age and I refuse to take a mustached Ninja out Trick or Treating. The other reason is; we don't really need the candy bad enough to go door to door begging for it.

My kids have all the candy they ever need on a weekly basis so they pick through the Halloween candy for the "good stuff" and then the rest of it sits in the pantry till Christmas.

So it's time to retire and let the other kids in the neighborhood walk around getting the non chocolate items nobody wants.

So next year it will be a night and home followed by a day in Walmart buying all the left over candy at a huge discount.

Hey - I said the kids didn't need anymore candy - I never mentioned me!
