We are busy carving pumpkins, cutting out ghosts and trying on costumes today! Tomorrow the kids will go off trick of treating. But in our house we do it a bit differently. Instead of collecting candy for themselves, they collect candy for the sugar sprite. After they get home they get to choose a few pieces of candy for themselves and then the rest goes into a bowl and is left out for the Sugar Sprite to come and get. In return she leaves each child a little toy. I started this tradition when the boys first started trick or treating because I couldn’t stand the idea of them eating all that candy! It works out great and they just love trying to get as much candy as they can for the sprite!!

such great photos but I love what you’ve incorporated using the sugar sprite! When my kids were little I used to only let them have a certain amount but I didn’t think of anything as clever as you have done. What a super idea!
