Halloween is coming and we were in a quandary as to what to hand out for
treats. When Angela was younger we would give out little toys. Rubber
ducks were really popular! Extra toys were not a problem in those days.
Although I would get a few specifically Halloween things like stuffed bats,
I would try to get mostly generic things. That way I could put them in
treat bags for school parties or her birthday party if there were extras.
But she is too old for toys now.

We had decided some time ago to give out Welch's Fruit Snacks because all
the kids seem to like them. We were going to get the large packages from
Costco. And extras wouldn't have been a problem because the kids at the
dance studio love them and Angela was eating them for snacks. But now that
she is on a low carb diet, we don't need those in the house. I do like them
and I was using them for hypos. But we really don't need them.

Today at Costco we saw a new product. Simply Fruit Fruit Rollups. They are
made of apples, cherries and berries. Only 12 g of carb per Rollup. So we
bought those. Angela has taken them in her lunch to school and the other
kids always wants some, so she shares.

My husband won't be too happy about this if he is home then. He likes
diving into the candy bowl. We bought full sized candy bars from Costco the
past couple of years and although they went over very well with the kids, we
didn't want the extras in the house.
