Thursday Treats is all about the best things I have had happen in the past week as far as good things, good foods, awesome finds at stores, great TV shows, etc.
- Trick or Treating went well last night. The kids just kept on going. We were out till 7:40pm which is 40 minutes later than we have ever been out. S loved to be the oldest in the group, and P was all about it. She did get scared at a few houses and skipped those.
- This is the first time we went in our neighborhood. In years past we went to my parents and then the past few years we went to my sisters. This year we went with the neighbors. I don’t know if it is because there are less kids that trick or treat around here but they got more candy in the first half hour then they have gotten total in years past. Instead of just getting one small piece because there are so many kids each got a handful. This is a kids dream, a parent’s nightmare.
- S and P’s favorite thing is sorting the candy. First we organize it so all things alike are together and then we have four bowls: definitely keep, maybe keep, dad’s candy, and dad takes unwanted candy to work. So my kids do not like chocolate so this gives you an idea of what our bowls looked like.
o Definitely Keep-Milky Way Fun Size, 3 Musketeer, Reeses Pieces, Kit-Kat one stick, Twix, Baby Ruth, Payday, 100 Grand, Crunch, Laffy Taffy, (that is all me), Smarties, Tootsie Pops, Tootsie Rolls, Nerds, Dots, Sour Patch Kids, Swedish Fish, Starburst, (that is the kids, S has started to venture into the chocolate and will eat Twix and Kit Kat).
o Maybe Keep-Milk Duds, Dum Dum suckers (kept some Dum Dum suckers and Milk Duds went to dad).
o Dad’s Candy-half the Twix, Kit-Kat with 2 sticks, Snickers mini (we got a ton and he didn’t want them all), Milky Way mini, Butterfinger, Sugar Babies, Hershey anything, Mini Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, and Peanut M&Ms.
o Dad takes unwanted candy to work-Twizzlers (I love them but don’t need them), Skittles (same love them but don’t need them), Regular M&Ms, almost all suckers, Almond Joy, York Peppermint Patty, and Fun Size Snickers. All full size Reeses Peanut Butter cups go to May’s mom for cookies!
What good things have you been treated to you this week?
Although I do Thursday Treats, it is pretty similar to Jen at Ramblings of a Suburban Mom‘s Thursday Thoughts, so I am linking up with her today.
