I will have to cut G off so he won't get sick, but he'll get way more sweets than usual.
Lo on the other hand barely eats solids anymore and just wants milk so I will offer him cut up pieces of everything but I'm sure he will just throw it on the floor. Kid is a tough customer food wise these days!
Over the past couple of weeks when DH and I have been overinduldging he's had a couple half m&ms as a trial and he was an enormous fan. I think he'll be terribly excited.
I voted yes, but really tonight I'll leave it up to my mom. I'll give her permission to let her have something, but it's her call if she wants to risk a kid on a sugar high before bed, lol. I'm sure she'll let her have some Smarties or something like that.
Speaking of Smarties, do you all have Smaties down in the States? Like the candy coated chocolate ones? DH and I were watching something on TV (I cannot for the life of me remember what) and it showed some different candies and one was called smarties but was actual candies in a clear wrapper...?
That's kind of what I saw. They reminded me of sweet tarts (but obviously I haven't tasted them, so just the look). You guys are missing out! Smarties are soooo much better than M&Ms!!!
I might let Owen have a piece tonight. I don't want to ruin bed time though, so we'll see. I took out our huge bucket of candy today (I've had it hidden) and I gave him a snack size 3 musketeers.
We're not trick or treating (I don't think....Ds2 who's 8 decided he wants to pass out candy instead. ) So unless he changes his mind we'll be at home, so I might save a few candies for the boys. Let them have first pick.

This is exactly what happened. G had a meltdown after he was only allowed 4 pieces (set the number and discussed it multiple times in advance) and even when I unwrapped candy for Lo he just wanted the shiny crinkly wrappers. So zero candy for Lo!
Yup. Both kids already got a few fun sized kit kats. I don't keep candies around the house so it was a big treat for them. Tomorrow I'll hide the candy and dh will bring it into work with him Monday.
LO had a little fun sized milk chocolate. He was *beyond* thrilled about it. I was very happy to make his evening that much more enjoyable after the cold/rainy walk through the neighborhood!
As I suspected, grandma gave in and let her have treats. When I left for my dinner date with DH they were sharing a fun size box of Scaries (the Halloween version of canadian Smarties). I'm betting that's probably all she had, maybe a small bite or two of something else. It was nearing bedtime.
No idea if Grayson had candy last night after we left. One of the cul-de-sacs in my neighborhood had some people that had hot dogs and stuff out. One of the guys put a wrapped up hot dog in Grayson's bucket and he ate that when we got home (I know the guy who gave it to him) but no candy. He also got a juice box from another house. We shared a fun size kit kat earlier
I was really excited to find that most of DDs bucket was filled with non candy treats like pretzels goldfish etc. I did let her have a dum dum and a mini kitkat. It was her first kitkat and her reaction was priceless. She had a lot of sweets yesterday over all and she slept just fine. It was tradition growing up to have apple cider and munchkin donuts at grandmas before trick or treating and I wanted to keep that going with her. While I'm not real strict with sweets per say, they are pretty rare for her but 1 day of holiday indulgence every few months never hurt anyone and I've never allowed her to over do it enough to be sick
Re: will you allow your toddler to indulge tonight?
