what are you guys doing with all the halloween candy your kids got? I so want it out of my house! My kids don't really eat a lot of candy or chocolate anyway. The local orthodontist takes the candy and sends it to our troops overseas and pays the kids $1 per pound of candy. So I'm going to let them pick out a handful each and the rest is going to the dentist!

Thats a cool idea.I bet the troops love it too.My kids usually just eat a few pieces a day til its gone.Theyll prob still have some left the beginning of dec..lol.They got lots of candy this year.

Tyler got a ton of it from family members. I picked out some suckers and a few of the fruit snacks and sent the rest to the ranch shop where there are men around all the time looking for a snack.

Yeah our dentist does the troop thing too but only $1.00 for a pound and only two pounds each kid. So You figure that most kids dont see it as a great dea.

Most of the candy from the kids went to my niece. She took it to school and is sharing it with her friends. The boys didn't get to keep very much.

I let my kids eat on it for the first week and then is "disappears" lol. I might just hide it and pull some out here and there and there are times I just pitch the whole bag. My friends mom told her grandkids she would pay them $2 a lb for their candy so they are taking whats left at the end of the week to her.

Troy didn't get that much candy but what he did DH and I have been devouring (sp) everytime we walk past the bag! hehehe

I let them eat on it till it's gone, or they get tired of it, which ever comes first.

Not sure,so far its put away,,I let them eat all they can/want on halloween then usually put it up.Most of the time they forget about it.

I usually let the kids have a few pieces a day..........But its gotta be after they've had Breakfast and Lunch........Not Before....It usually doesn't last too long anyways with me I'm a Choc-o-halic

We got TONS!! I'll keep it out for a week or so and let them pick at it. I'll freeze some for when we need a chocolate fix in the future. The rest I'll bring to school and use for treats for my students.

i saw a ped. about 75 miles from us is doing that for the troops and what a neat idea!!! nicholas picked some the first night and got halloween cookies from us but other than that he doesn't eat a lot of sweets so dh and i have picked through it it's sitting on our dresser right now

Quinn only got one of teh $1 pumpkins nearly full. Between the 3 of us its almost gone.

They usually eat it.....Aaron and Chas were the only ones who went this year...so among the 5 of us we usually eat in up in a few weeks....and sometimes I'll bring it to work cause it goes really fast there.

April that is basically what I do..i hate haveing so much candy and they usually forget about it after a week or so,then they will get some every now and then.

we took the kids' candy into the dentist yesterday (of course they did keep some) they paid $1 per pound...tyler had 8 pounds and jordan had 4 pounds.
