My trips collect copious amounts of candy every year for Halloween. They each have a method in which to eat said candy. Iris likes to plot out a course and will have them lined up in the order to eat them normally while already eating one piece. Bobby like to go right for the chocolate and normally will bypass all other candy until it is all consumed. Where as Cooper likes the jellies. His favorite is Dots and will eat those all day.
One of the glories of being a parent in the tax we levy on the candy that they receive. This is the ability to take some of the good stuff out of their buckets. This has to happen because our children normally get to go trick or treating at least three times every year. They go to the church trunk or treat, then to my wife's work and get showered with candy from her co-workers. And then on the actual day of Halloween we go hit a couple of neighborhoods and load up.
When it's all done my kiddos have a estimated twenty pounds of candy each and it normally lasts us being doled out until after Christmas. Then they get all the Christmas candy and just about the time that starts to run low it's their birthday followed by Easter. We seem to collect candy like a squirrel collecting nuts for winter. If it wasn't for the summer months I believe that we would have to have a closet just for candy storage.
