If you can recall, exactly a week ago Garrett came home from trick-or-treating with 4.4 pounds of candy. For a couple days this bag sat on the counter completely torturing me by calling my name each time I walked by. One day, the bag was gone and to be quite honest I was relieved. I mean, after all, out of sight out of mind, right?
Well apparently I'm not the only person who has a sweet tooth and no willpower in this family. Last night, Chris headed to Garrett's room and found a bag that was much lighter (2 1/2 pounds to be exact) in weight and candy wrappers scattered around. Garrett was at a football game so the opportunity to yell and lecture him was not an option so I believe Chris came up with a brilliant alternative....
He dumped the candy in a ziploc bag and hid it, filled the pillowcase (yes, Garrett is old school when it comes to collecting candy) with the empty wrappers and some apples.
Oh how I wished I could've have seen his face when he went for his candy this morning. They don't teach you this stuff in the books, but I think we got our point across.

I'll have to remember this for when my kids get old enough...!
Great idea.
