How many sweets did your kids end up with tonight?

[ToddlerMama27]

We took our 2 year old out Trick Or Treating tonight and he has ended up with so much more than I expected!! 🤗
The big chocolate bar is from my parents but everything else is from other houses!!

I have gone through and counted them all as others have been 😂
He got:
A goodie bag with 3 sweets in (1 he can eat),
25 packs of Haribo’s but he’s had 4 of them already so 29 altogether!!
35 chewy sweets and lollies that he won’t be able to have plus 2 Rolo’s that we probably won’t risk him having
29 chocolate things plus a big chocolate bar from my parents
3 biscuit/cookie things
15 other sweets
So 117 things altogether with 78 of them being things he can actually have 🤗

Aw, poor kid. Tho I had upper and lower fixed braces for 18m as a kid, and firstly, there's always chocolate, and secondly, apart from toffees, you find a way

The rule our way is you only knock on houses with pumpkins outside. That works well but there were definitely fewer houses than usual decorated and with pumpkins this year. Not sure why - maybe the up and down weather, or maybe the fact it was a school night straight after half term amd people were too tired to get involved.

DS(6) still got plenty of sweets, but only about a quarter full bucket, maybe. He was very happy, as he met friends and enjoyed looking at some amazing tableaux where people had really pushed the boat out, including surprise human decorations in a couple of cases. Very scary!

DD(13) went out with a couple of friends all dressed up, and got told by so many people they were too old to be trick or treating, they lost confidence and went back to their friend's house. She was quite sad when she came home, but that's it now. She's hung up her bucket for the last time, she says. Hopefully I'll persuade her to take DS next year to give her some legitimacy for dressing up and getting out there, because she loves it.

I cannot believe people take so much… for a two year old!! They really don’t need that many sweets at all

i don’t have young children but do give out sweets . Most of the children were very greedy and took big handfuls despite being asked to leave some for others . One little girl was very sweet and shy and only took one initially so I gave her more . At the end of the night I gave the remaining sweets to her mum for later .

So 39 thing you "have" to eat. Result!

Mine also have lodes, I just don't bother making pudding for the next few weeks and let them pick something out of their bucket insted.
