The Last Day in October...

It's Reformation Day!
And this is the stash they brought home....



What other time in a kid's life can you hold 6 KitKats and relish in sole ownership? This does not occur in everyday life. It could for adults, any time we choose, but there's a benchmark of adulthood: holding 6 KitKats does not rank anymore. Isn't it kind of sad?

Of course, as adults, we have the discernment it takes to avoid those bummer candies. Remember the orange styrofoam peanuts?
Tristan was introduced to them this year.
Don't you feel betrayed after eating one of those?
.
Sawyer discovered Canada's version of the orange styrofoam peanut.
Avoid these.
.
They both recovered sufficiently enough to resume trading.
It's a candy economy.

Our kids brought home quite a haul too. For them the bummers are popcorn balls and bags of pretzels. At one point after we'd run out of candy to give out, another group of kids showed up. Gannon quickly and eagerly ran around and collected all the popcorn balls and handed them out. Generous AND resourceful. :)

I remember the syrofoam peanuts - never ate them - they were awlful.
But looks like they made out with the rest of the candy.
