What happens with all the Halloween candy that you/your kids collect on the 31st? (Check all that apply)

.

We have little self-control...we eat it all within a week! (22.7%)

We eat it all but we ration it out to last a long time (33.3%)

We throw a lot out to get rid of candy we don't like and for self-control (7.3%)

We try to give it away to friends, co-workers, etc. (26.0%)

It lasts a long time...we may still have some from last Halloween! (26.7%)

    My kids get one "free day" of candy enjoyment, then it's gone. I'm a college professor so in the past we've just given it to my students. This year we plan to send it to our troops overseas- I read in a magazine about it and am checking out the website tomorrow. I'll probably keep a handful or two to use for rewards or something, but the vast majority of it is gone on Nov. 2nd.

    Soulsista - I could see that! I've only got one at the moment, so no problem with "helping" her finish it off! :P But down the road (hoping for 3, maaaybe 4), I could see not finishing it. lol

    I keep some for enjoyment at home for me and the kids and will be donating the rest to the troops. The kids enjoy knowing they are sharing with the troops, too, they like picking out what to keep and what to send.

    I'm getting ready for the big day, er diet (due any day), so I try to control it. My four year old loves candy but is hyper so he only gets it in moderation.
