If you have ever seen Seinfeld stand-up, you know what the title refers to. If not, it pretty much states the whole goal of a child's life...get candy, get candy, get candy. And it's true. I swear it's all my kids have been talking about. Can I have more candy, when can we get candy again, will the candy go away...AHHH! No more talk of candy. Although I shouldn't talk. I remember my goal of getting candy my entire childhood...and adulthood. I definitely have a sweet tooth and have done my share of candy stashing in my life. Anyways, the kids had a great time this Halloween. My nieces, Stella and Sofia, came over with my parents to join us in trick-or-treating in our new neighborhood. The weather wasn't great, but at least it wasn't pouring rain. My dad and I took Molly and Stella up and down our street while Matt chased after Grant and Sofia...mostly Grant. He had it figured out pretty quick, the faster I go, the more candy I can get. They were exhausted by time they got home.
Quick story because this is so something I did when I was a kid too. After sorting through Grant's candy (he really can't eat the chocolate because of his milk allergy), he had a few pieces, and then he disappeared. I go up to his room only to see him trying to sneak back down with a mouth full of more candy. I of course knew exactly what he was doing, since I had done it before myself. Yep, sneaking more candy, and hiding it in his closet for future enjoyment. Of course I was on to him and made him get the candy out of its hiding spot and gave him the "don't be sneaky" lecture, but secretly was amazed that he is so much like his momma.
All in All, it was a great night for the kids and thanks mom for bringing over the yummy lasagna!
