After last year's candy debacle, I decided to stock up on Halloween candy.
2011 was our first year in the neighbourhood. Unsure about how many spooks and goblins would visit our door, I asked our next door neighbour. She said to expect 20 to 25. Halfway through the night we ran out of candy. At the time, my daughter was three and easily distracted while I rummaged through her candy bag to give out to the neighbourhood kids. Luckily, she had lots to spare. A couple of days before we attended a family-friendly Halloween event where she loaded up on candy. And on Halloween day we hit up a kids event at the mall. As a last resort, I was prepared to hand out individual bags of animal crackers, along with juice boxes.
When the Glee-inspired teenage girls quartet left my front door, I was out of candy. There was no more candy that I could squander from my daughter's bag without her noticing. I quickly shut off the lights and hid out in the back room.
This year I'm prepared. In addition to the photo shown, I've got 21 candy bags prepared, a box of 50 bags of chips and another mega bag of chocolate bars. I've also got half a box of Sunkist treats.
The kids better come. I don't want to be stuck with all this candy.
