ok, So yesterday i mentioned that we needed to go to Costco next time we go to the "city" and pick up a case of candy bars for halloween. I did this alst year and we got stuck with a box of snickers, lol. i blame the crappy weather and halloween being ona s chool night.
anyway, my wife mentioned how she thought it wouldnt make any difference to the kids if we gave them a couple of the small candys that come in the halloween packs that you can buy at all the grocery stores during halloween season.
I however, think that the kids eyes light up and they would rather get a "normal" sized candy bar vs. the small ones any day. I also would argue that they remember where the "Big candy" house is and will be buggin parents to return the next year.
So whos right, Me "the big candy bar guy", or my eife who would rather give out the normal small size crap.
I will note that i always have a back up supply of the small stuff, and were thinking about having a caramel apple station set up for a couple of the local nieghbor kids we know for them to make thier own apples.
