Trick or Treat

Since it is Halloween, I feel the need to say something about candy and our children. If you have not gone out and bought candy for the trick or treaters, consider doing this. Instead of buying candy, buy pencils or small boxes of crayons. If you buy some Halloween pencils with special Halloween erasers, these are great things for the children. Something they can actually use and something that will not be detrimental to their health.

We have given pencils since the second year we were married. I learned in that first year that guess who ate the left over candy. Something I did not need to be doing. Kids love the fact that you are giving them something different and the parents usually have a smile for me when the kids ask what it is and they learn they're getting pencils.

Happy Halloween!!
