Lu took to the American Trick or Treat tradition with the gusto of sugar addict after a fix. He could not unwrap the candy fast enough and just crammed whatever he could lay his hands on into his mouth. Usually a very unselfish and kind hearted child, if anyone dared even look in the direction of his plastic pumpkin holding his loot he would scream "MINE!!!!!" The first words out of mouth on Saturday morning were "candy Mom, candy!" I predict Lu will devour the 5 pieces we let him keep within the day. Clara on the other hand, will count, re-count, organize and look after her five pieces of candy for days...my best guess is that she'll savour it slowly, making it last all the way till Christmas.
And in case any of you out there are thinking "what! only 5 measly pieces of candy! who approved this miserly woman to have children!" I stand by my decision to keep their sugar intake to a minimum, soon enough they'll learn to sneak it when I'm not looking. As for the left over piles that are filling my mixing bowls, Pete bought it from the kids for $5.00 where it will join all the other leftover Halloween candy, on the desks of corporate America.
