My daughters came home Halloween night after a good romp around the block, with trick or treat bags full to bursting.
They were simply over the moon. Like good little hunters dragging home a feast for the village, they were bursting with pride.
My preschooler couldn’t stop babbling on about the Nestle chocolate bar she had acquired. Apparently, she had elbowed her way past a couple of goblins in order to achieve her sweet victory.
My toddler bore the same sentiments over a rather sticky, purple lollipop, wrapper long ago discarded. Heaven knows where she found that gem.
Hubs and I were feeling warm and mushy ourselves. It was our first Halloween without a stroller or Baby Bjorn.
And, no assistance was needed with doorbells.
At ages two and four, our little gals are growing up.
To top the evening, we discovered their Halloween bags were magical.
Simply magical.
Apparently, these trick or treat bags had come equipped with some bells and whistles we hadn’t anticipated.
There was a disappearing button. One push. Candy gone. This button has a hair trigger. Watch out for those sticky, little fingers.
Luckily, there was also an automatic refill button. Thanks to hubby’s quick late night trip to Walmart. He was feeling guilty about his post bedtime candy raid, after all. The guy’s got heart.
Now, if we can just rig that automatic refill button to a couple choice places around the house, we’re good to go.
Wallet.
Dreyer’s Ice Cream container.
Cat food bowl.
Fancy hand creme.
Patent pending….

Man! He ate it all?! Good thing you had the automatic refill button. In our neighborhood everybody sits outside. If you aren't outside, then we keep walking. I'm never sure about the porch light rule.
I let my kids keep a handful of their favorites and ration those out for a while. The rest goes into a community basket, but it's basically mine, all MINE! Mwahahahaha...
Here in Singapore, halloween's not that big a deal, unfortunately, cos I've always thot it was such a AWESOME holiday, especially for kids! Glad you ALL had fun! :)
Let me know when you get the wallet refill button perfected, I'd pay big $$$ for that one! :P
Oh, and can you add instant weight loss button to the list too please?
Sign me up for one of those...
I'd be the first in line for ther refilling wallet.
You need a pie distributor button do. Just lean under it, open wide and bam, a perfect bite sized pie.
Someone call a lawyer and distributor!
So cute! Isn't it nice to know how much fun the little ones had and good for their dad for refilling those bags after a good candy raid. Me? I had a ton of treats left over so for now, I'm not eyeballing my 3 1/2 year olds stash!
I'd love one of those refill buttoms too. Sounds very useful.
Yes, do let me know if you figure it out. I'd like a direct line to my wallet too!
Haha! This is awesome!! My dad always used to do that to us too - but there weren't any refill buttons at our house. Man, I'll have to get me one of those. ;)
My kids are safe from the Husband. It is me that raids it all.
I like that automatic refill button for wallets.
How funny! My kids are at the age where they COUNT their candy. Hubby and I find that it's better for our waste-lines this way. The kids did take pity on us this year and kicked down some Almond Joy. Yum!
The kids I nanny for forget they even have the giant bag of candy after Halloween passes. How does a kid forget about a giant bag of candy??
Woah!! That's impressive that he ate all of it - and refilled :)I'm thinking about sneaking more and more out.
Once you get that wallet refill thing down let me know - I'll definitely invest!
My girls love trick or treating. But, after a day or so they forget about the candy. My hubs has already raided the bowl and taken most of it to his work.
I'm sure by the time I get there, I am going to be glad, but right now I really don't want them to grow up and not be carried in my snuggli!
