A friend just turned me on to the idea of a SWITCH WITCH at Halloween (I was complaining about not wanting my LO to get all that candy).
The SWITCH WITCH (I think she's related to the Toothfaerie), if you haven't heard of her, comes after Halloween and visits kids rooms and takes their trick or treat candy (they leave it for her, outside their bedroom door, naturally). And in the place of the candy, she leaves a treat - a book or a toy or something fun.
Obviously, this isn't for kids who already know the Halloween-Candy-Connection, but for one like mine who hasn't experienced the candy, it sounds great!
And THEN I'll give the candy back, through Operation Gratitude, to go into care packages for US Military Abroad.
Problem. Solved.
Aah....back to working on the costume.
