My kids go out to T or T, come home with 1/2 a bucket, eat a few pieces the first night and then promptly forget about it. I throw it out sometime around Christmas. <br /><br />What I hate are the wrappers I find all over my yard from the neighborhood kids eating their loot. It lasts for about two weeks every year, then apparently they run out of candy or their mom throws it out.kandyblossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07683587299205808119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951550993745961318.post-60125622579803010312010-11-04T15:13:49.069-04:002010-11-04T15:13:49.069-04:00I don't have kids but I'm living with one ...I don't have kids but I'm living with one (my housemate's kid).
