Just a quick update to let you all know that Candy Mountain Consumption 08 was a blast!
Oh, and Braden really didn’t eat all THAT much candy – after all, most of the crap they sell is too dangerous for him (Runts = Choking Hazard, Laffy Taffy = Certain Death, etc) and anything chocolate has milk in it, which he can’t have. So he’s the SweetTarts Kid.
If you’ll notice above, he’s after Mommy’s heart by being obsessive and weird – stacking them up before eating them.
God, I love that freakazoid.
Before we started the gluttony fest, “we” made this Jack-O-Mutant:
Then we broke out The Canday.
Braden ate just enough SweetTarts so that he started chasing the dog all over the house, repeating his name over and over and over and over again.
“Zack, Zack, Zack, Zack, Zack, Zack, Zack, Zack, Zack, Zack….”
The Mexican showed great restraint and did not cut him or yell, “Shut up, eeediot!”
Later, I heard a crunching noise and looked over to see why The Mexican was being nice. Braden was slipping SweetTarts to him, too.
And so the chain of candy sharing was lengthened, and all was good.
PS: I made sure the fetus got a taste of every single type of candy that Braden couldn’t have.

Speaking of the fetus – he kinda looks like a cute little dinosaur baby now! Dinosaurs loves canday, nom nom nom.

“The fetus got a taste of every single type of candy.” Well that’s a great idea. Get him/her used to different flavours early and you’ll have no problem with mealtimes later. Don’t forget to also introduce other less common foods, like broccoli, brussels sprouts and bean sprouts. He/she will be WAY ahead of the other babies when it comes to solid foods.

LOL Kat…does sorta look like a baby dinosaur.
Glad you ended up having a good Halloween. Denying fetus candy would of been wrong. Glad you made the right choice

I can totally see running after the Mexican in a sugar frenzy.
Meanwhile, when fetus and Braden are much older, the first thing after “Good Morning, Mom” on the morning after is “Can I have some of my candy?” Just saying!
The jack o lantern is awesome, too.

I’m sure the fetus was inside chasing something around your belly just as Braden was!!!

Glad your evening was enjoyable. I love sweet tarts. They are my favorite non-chocolate candies. And aren’t you supposed to stack them before you eat them and when you stack them you have to have a pattern to the colors or it that just me?????

This Mama had way too much candy and paid the price. I’m glad you took the chocolate from him for yourself, or I’d ask you to send it to me.

poor kid, no milk chocolate? what about dark chocolate? Whats going to happen at Christmas? Chocolate is the only candy I LOVE.
Sounds like he had fun, should have posted a video of him chasing the dog, would have loved to see it.

I too would be totally in love with the obsessive stacking technique–a boy after my own heart! But, OMG–ICK! I am so SICK of Halloween candy. Literally sick!
#19 by Jacque on November 1, 2008 - 6:52 PM
I stack my sweet tarts also!
*lol* I can just picture your little one chasing the dog around! Love It

Good of you to watch out for the fetus that we. Wouldn’t want the poor little thing to be deprived just because he’s unborn.

You’ll be lucky if ‘The Fetus’ doesn’t go on a sugar high and start doing a tap dance in there.

So funny about sharing the candy with Braden’s unborn sibling!
We went to my parents to go trick or treating after circulating our neighborhood. This is the first Halloween where the kids lived close enough to go see my parents. I was reminded of a tradition that my dad used to have when we were kids. The kids had to pay their “taxes”.
And so the tradition continues…..
