Thankful: Day 2 [Halloween Candy]

Today I am thankful for HALLOWEEN CANDY!  I have a major sweet tooth. Everyone who knows me knows that.

On Mon night, we walked to a block party down the street because we had gotten an invitation on our door, and since we've been trying to meet some of our neighbors it seemed like a good idea.  The plan was to trick-or-treat after mingling for a while, but we ended up having such a good time that we never ended up trick-or-treating. AND (bonus) we met some neighbors who have a little boy just about one month older than Henry.

So, before it was time to leave, I realized that I was probably not going to be stealing a lot of trick-or-treat candy from Henry, which is the whole reason I wanted him to go anyway.

You can decide if this was appropriate or not - probably not - but right before we left the party, I took about two handfuls of candy from the bowl that the hosts (our new, previously mentioned friends w/ little boy) had out in their yard for the kids. And, you should remember that I have man hands- I can take a lot in a handful.

So maybe instead of being thankful for the Halloween candy, I should be thankful for my man hands. :) Or maybe I should be thankful for some new friends?  Eh, I'll keep it simple and stick with Halloween candy.

True Story: Yesterday, in an attempt to save myself from myself, I knotted up all of the leftover Halloween candy that we didn't pass out in a plastic grocery sack, and placed it at the very top of the pantry, hoping to forget about it. Then, 20 minutes later, I returned to the bag, tore it open, and continued eating candy.

Another true story: I had been saving a mini-pack of grape Nerds to eat after dinner last night.  When I finished dinner and went to look for them they were gone.  MY HUSBAND - the guy who NEVER eats candy or sweets - had snatched them!  I may or may not have called him a bad word... joking of course. Sort of.
