Treat Seeking Trio

(most of the pics ended up like the one above. The BEST pic ever was the one below--I believe it is of "print out large, frame, and put on bookshelf" quality!)
The kids were dressed up and ready to go for some candy-hunting fun! Garrett stuck with the traditional "ninja" costume, Caroline went old-school with her cat combo, and Emily was the cutest ladybug this side of the Mason Dixon line. Luckily, the kids' teachers gave no homework, so were able to chow down on some tacos, get in costume, and head out while it was still daylight. Forty houses and about 17.8 pounds of candy later, we were riding high on sugar and ready for showers and a nice comfy bed. I let the kids pick out 20 pieces of candy to keep and the rest is stored in gallon Ziploc bags on top of the pantry. The kids get to snack on favorites that I don't normally keep stocked in the house, and Timmy and I were able to grab some Baby Ruths, Twizzlers (him) and Snickers (me) without spending a penny :) Gotta love Halloween!
