(usually to mom's work) and he gets to eat one piece on Halloween night then we brush and floss! we sort through the candy-the sticky stuff is thrown out. the candy he likes is divided – half goes to the Great Pumpkin who leaves a toy, book, or game in the morning and the candy disappears!

My four-year-old daughter still has candy from last Halloween! Last year, she couldn't get through all the candy she got from Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day and Easter. It's just crazy that all of these holidays revolve around candy. I'm lucky in that my daughter shows self-restraint, but really...it's just too much. I love the idea of having her trade in most of her candy for a toy! Our culture has gotten so out of hand with candy. My four-year-old daughter still has candy from last Halloween!

We do so because the candy culture has gotten out of hand in this country (it's hardly just one night), and this is an opportunity to educate her. I just blogged about our complete strategy here: http://spoonfedblog.net/2010/10/20/candy-insanity-halloween-here-we-come/ Love the WikkiStix idea!

We end up throwing it away or making brownies with candy bar chunks. Well, that or my husband eats it. Really, though, one thing I love about feeding my kids healthy is they naturally reject things they find too sweet. I couldn't pay them to eat jelly beans, for instance. Even my 2-year-old says, "No fhank oou." ;) I don’t really limit it because my kids naturally get sick of it early on. We end up throwing it away or making brownies with candy bar chunks.
