They are tart candy, and yummy, though.<br /> They even make dispensers for them. Like Pez dispensers, but round.<br />Jaime Sammshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756034484406953047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-36568305299934491112012-11-03T13:34:21.236-07:002012-11-03T13:34:21.236-07:00LOL at Rockets!

They decided that since there would likely be fewer kids out, they'd expand their route. People were only too happy to dump mittfulls of candy into their sacs. No word of a lie, we have a full green garbage bag full of Halloween candy, mostly potato chips and chocolate. Can you say happy mama? lol!<br /><br />Faith, The oldest is twelve. Hubs was ready to let them go around the block on their own this year, since they are getting older. Didn't happen, but it may be nearing the end of T&T here, too.<br /><br />OMG, Val, the last thing we need is *more*!!!!<br /><br />Trin, so glad you are enjoying the new town :D that is awesome!<br />I always get mixed up. Here, "Smarties" are candy covered chocolates, like M&M's. What you call smarties are called "Rockets" here.<br /><br />Jaime Sammshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756034484406953047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-58262937317347492062012-11-03T13:26:40.677-07:002012-11-03T13:26:40.677-07:00We gave away chocolate.

So, you do get less candy for the money. Even so, the kids in our neighborhood had lots of good stuff in their plastic pumpkins, from what I could see!

One place had hot dogs, juice, chips and gave out school supplies. Fire trucks were going along handing out things too. This town we moved to is awesome and amazing. It's so nice to a town come together to do things like this. Yes, my kids were truly happy this year. Now mom gets to look for bottle caps and smarties. :)<br />No chocolate for me.<br />Trinitytrinityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18193965850283828350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-44963060935904851732012-11-03T13:16:27.011-07:002012-11-03T13:16:27.011-07:00Yanno, my son went T or T'ing three times and ...Yanno, my son went T or T'ing three times and didn't come home with much other than suckers, taffy, pretzels, and hard tack.

Why yes, in fact I have found the cure for the sugar crash...don't let the crash happen in the first place. Hint: stores WAY over-buy on the Halloween treats, so there are always fantastic clearance deals. *grin*Valerie Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761558020418265338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-518902979955848222012-11-03T13:08:23.988-07:002012-11-03T13:08:23.988-07:00Halloween is my fave holiday.

It's the whole fall and uber cool atmosphere that I love.<br /><br />Costumes and T or T are out of my system, tho. After raising 9 kids--with two of the 9 still at home--I am soooo over the T or T and going around the neighborhoods until I have blisters on my feet.
