For Halloween candy, we use the "Switch Witch", which the girls know is us, to switch out the candy for a present. One year it was more costumes, another legos and I can't remember the third. But a huge win. We negotiate with the kids on the prize - they are excited about the switch and haven't complained, yet. The kids get to keep 10 pieces of candy each, eating one a day - in the morning! The rest we either turn into the local dentist for money, send to troops abroad or Daddy takes to work - or all three. Trick or treating is big here - we go 5-7 times before the main event. We don't eat traditional candy and the girls really don't like it. We've been able to switch out the regular candy for the real sugar, no artificial dye candy or real quality chocolate. Tends to give us less behavior problems.

We're going on an adventure to Dream Castle. To get there, you have to brush your teeth and say thank you to the Princess of Clean, climb Stairs Mountain, sit on the Mystical Magical Potty Fountain, climb into the entrance to Dream Castle, have a story, fight the sleepy gremlins with snuggly buddies and cozy blankets, and close your eyes and be quiet so you can find the King of Dream Castle. So far, she hasn't caught on to me. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455677515210335243noreply@blogger.com
