It’s November!

On the sixth of November marks the 11th anniversary of the official “start” Of our relationship. On Halloween marked the 11th anniversary of me losing my virginity. TMI?

The kids got way too much candy. Normally, I think the more candy the better, But for some reason my husband has decided the kids are all old enough to eat their own candy – thus, My husband is an asshole and the kids will be grounded each time I see them eating chocolate. I hope that, very quickly, the boys learn to share with me. A Happy Mother = a Happy Home.

My BFF came in from the city and did the boy’s faces for me. The boy’s and I loved it, and the boy’s got a lot of complements on their costumes.

We only had 31 children come to our door to trick or treat. We decided to hand out jars of Play Doh this year, instead of candy. Of those 31, only one of them turned up their nose – kid was probably 12 or so – and decided it was his place to lecture me on the fact that Halloween is NOT a time for Play Doh, But a time for CANDY. I apologized, reached in his bag, removed the Play Doh he had taken anyway and shut the door in his face.

  1. That’ll teach the little bastard. :evil:

    I told my kids that the new rule is redistribution of wealth, so they have to give me 28% of their candy.

  2. Tell your kids that they should donate some of their candy to ______ charity. Tell them you’ll take it there yourself… then, uhm, forget to go.

  3. I think Play Doh was a great idea! I wish someone was handing that out when I was a kid. Maybe instead of the little boxes of raisins.

  4. Good for you! I had a trio of boys who couldn’t see what I was giving them and asked what it was. I showed them assorted Hershey’s minis and Laffy Taffys. They all groaned, but were down the steps before I could retrieve any of it. Or kick them down the steps myself.

    The first group of kids, all girls around 10 or 11, were so rude and crawling over each other to get to the door first that I just wanted to tell them to beg for some manners at the next house.

    We only had 18 kids come to our door, so the last sweet little girl ended up getting several handfuls of candy from me.

  5. At least your kids GOT candy! Mine went out with HHH and came back with old stale chocolate(It was crumbling it was so dry!), spare change, and an open, half bag of old doughnuts! WTF were these people thinking??

  6. The store I work at had PlayDoh a couple of years ago and it hasn’t come back since. Which is a huge shame because the kids LOVED it. Good for you for taking it back from the snotty kid though.

    Your boys look adorable, which is difficult for me to admit because I’m one of those people that hates clowns. I’m all conflicted now :P

  9. Gah! Clowns! Scared… Hold me!

    The playdough is a great idea.
    I get a cluster of kids mainly around 7 to 7:30, maybe about 10 groups altogether. Just when I worry about running out of candy, that’s about it. So I stick to giving everyone a handful and they love me. I still have half a bag left!

    What’s with all the bags of chips?

  11. The guys look GREAT!

    Good for you, taking back the Play Doh. That kid needs a good smack–or a blast with the garden hose.

    We usually only get about 6 kids here, so we went to Disneyland for Halloween. SO MANY kids in costume, TOO cute! And surprisingly the lines weren’t too long for rides–the longest we waited was maybe a half hour for Indiana Jones and about that long for the Nemo one. Last time we went we waited and hour and a half just for Space Mountain. The only one we Fast Passed this time was The Haunted Mansion, and that was so we could eat some lunch.
    The park usually closes around 9, after the fireworks, but they stayed open til midnight for Halloween. We did the Jungle Safari Ride in the dark–that was fun!

    The only thing about not being here for Trick or Treat is–no leftover candy, boo! :wink:

  14. Who turns up their nose at free playdoh?

    Your boys are adorable. I wish I had more than one kid so I could dress them up as matching zombie clowns.

  15. So, wait. You expected candy that you wanted to purloin from your kids, but you gave out Play-doh? What if your kids came home with nothing but Play-doh? You would have been pissed!

  16. My boys knew from the first time out trick-or-treating that the price of trick-or-treating was payable in Kit-Kats and Reese’s and the occasional 3 Musketeers – everything else they could keep (especially the atomic fireballs – unless Dad found those).

    Did you make the boys’ costumes? I would have loved to have that trio come to my door!

    We only had about half as many kids as usual, so I have about 40 gummy body parts left over…
