The girls did pretty well this year considering they were only out for just under an hour an a half. 30 minutes with Evie and their chatty dad around the cul-de-sac, then almost an hour with their "come one guys - just one more house" mother.We pool all the Halloween candy in my house. And my philosophy this year was " eat it all up quickly". I gave the bag to the kids after school and gave them a free for all. (A mistake, considering Eve would open a candy take a bite, then open another candy ) But effective if getting the candy eaten. Now - all the good stuff is gone. Only suckers and potato chips left. (I'm not telling how much of the candy I ate - who keeps track anyway!)
Anyway - now it is time to move on. Yesterday I was weighed and measured for the biggest winner competition at the gym. It goes until December 18th. Andrew lost 17 pounds to win a similar competition at his school in the spring so he is my inspiration. First goal - lose the three pounds I put on at Halloween. How will I do it? I get a point every time I go to the gym - so I will go at least 4 times a week. I will drink more water. I will limit bread and cereals - and above all else - NO MORE CANDY!!!!!!
Wish me luck!

Sounds like a plan your dad and I should join.
I love the poses with all their candy like that! It's such a feast for kids, especially when their mamas let them have a free-for-all for a few days, it was the same here. But oddly enough, they lost interest once all the good candies were gone! :)
And way to go on the Biggest Winner contest! You'll have to drag me to the gym with you once in awhile so I can get there more than once or twice a week!
I love that picture of Alice holding the chocolate bar - funny!! She scored on that one! Great pictures.
And I'm with Megan - way to go with the Biggest Winner Conest! That is awesome.
