Trick or NOT Treat

As a parent I always look forward to Halloween!  The pure joy of your child dressed up as their favorite character is amazing to see.  This year our girls are Elsa and Anna from the hit movie "Frozen".  Seeing their smiling faces as they head to school just made my day.  As day time turns to dusk, its time for Trick or Treating.  Our oldest daughter is still young enough to not really understand the concept of knocking on strangers doors to ask for candy - she does understand the concept of M&Ms!!!.  Do you let your kids indulge?  Do you worry about high fructose corn syrup and artificial dyes?  I am of the theory, that you have to live life!  Be Happy!  Enjoy Halloween with your kids and let them indulge (just a little bit).  My parents always checked our candy bags when coming home from trick or treating and that is something that I will definitely do as well.  How will you handle this holiday that promotes sugar?  Happy Halloween from our family to yours!
