I put the kibosh on the unlimited Halloween candy fest the day after beggar’s night. The boys gorged for one glorious day.

“Gorge!! Are you serious??” my 13-year old protests as he reads over my shoulder. “I had one Butterfinger on beggar’s night! The next morning, as soon as we woke up, you told us we could only have two pieces.”

I think it was the way I announced how the candy would be rationed that was most annoying. In a strained accent, as if I were a professor at the La School de Doom, I said: “You may have two pieces.

I put it all in one bag and keep it in my closet. I give them three pices at three different times of the day. It kinda keeps them waiting for the next piece. My 4 year old goes into over-drive with more than two pieces of candy!She knows who will win the arguement. After two or three days they kinda start forgetting about the candy and making such a big deal.

The pillowcases are next to my nightstand for the second day in a row. The boys reminded me that I forgot to hide them. We've gotten lazy about the candy this year. I'm too lazy to hide it and they're too lazy to walk in here and get it. If they start ODing again, I'll have to start the hide and seek candy again, I guess. I think I'm eating more than them. I tell them two a day. I've had five reeses cups so far. I think I'm good for the day. Tomorrow is another day.

Over the years, I've tried a million different ways to manage the candy OD that comes with Halloween. I gave up eventually and just let them manage it themselves.
