6. We had zero kids this year, and now have a full box of full-size bars from Costco.

Nov 3

The last couple of years we had a few, and one family with a kid that *really* liked getting the full-size bars instead of the (allegedly) 'fun' size (who's idea of 'fun' was that??).

They'd show up and I'd open the door and tell the kids 'take 2'. On his way down the front stairs last year he yelled out, "Mom, this house has the BEST candy! Look! FULL SIZE!!!"

Filled my heart with joy to see how this one little gesture really brightened this kid's day.

Now we have a good assortment of Butterfinger, Baby Ruth, 100 Grand, and Crunch to sustain us for the next several months.
