We have way too much candy! The boys thought it would be fun to make haunted houses out of some of it. So, we called up our favorite neighbors and had some fun building together.



What to do with all the other candy???


Well, we heard that we could take our candy over to the dentist office and they would pay you a dollar per pound for it as well as give everyone a new toothbrush, balloons and free kid meal coupons for Texas Roadhouse. The boys thought about it and we wondered what they would do with the candy. We didn't really want it to be garbage. So, we did some research and found out that the dentist is sending it to the troops over seas as well as matching the money paid out to the kids and donating it to "Coins for Kids". So cool! The boys then went through all their candy and saved about half of it and sold the other half. They made a little money and felt really good about it. Now we just have to pace ourselves with the other 4 pounds of candy we have left.




**Note to self ** Next year, we will skip trick or treating and go to a movie like the Sawyer Family!


Oh, and one more thing - you may be looking at Hayden and wondering why he has a ribbon tied around his head..... Well, for some reason, he's a Nephite.
