I used to laugh at my nieces and nephew. Their Mom is a no-sugar nazi, so from the time they were old enough, they'd pedal their bikes in to town and buy candy and pop with their allowances...lol, I figure they're at LEAST getting more exercise that way! I've even caught her HUSBAND stocking up on Twin Bing bars and Mt. Dew when she's not looking!

I must be doing something right by having a FEW treats available and not making a federal case out of it, since her kids hit EVERY house in town on Halloween, and finish at least half before they get home, and the rest within a day... meanwhile I end up having the kids take most of theirs to school to share (or tossing it) since they get tired of it pretty quickly, and abandon their loot before they get rid of half...<shrug> Admittedly, I'm full of sadistic glee, since their Mom is my EX-SIL, and always holding herself up as a model mother...
