Way to run, JayGee!!! FANTASTIC time!!! Here's me. Jealous!
We went to Target today to replace the candy with plastic crap...Erm, I mean wonderful toys that will be played with for years and years. Actually, the kids picked pretty well. Katie chose a Groovy Girls Girl Scout doll (she has one already, but wants to "collect all 5!"
), Abby chose a unicorn, and Emily chose a My Little Pony unicorn. And the candy is all in a bag, and waiting for dh to come home and take it out of my sight! I had several pieces last night, and couldn't resist a snicker's mini

Yes, we had the greedy grabbers yesterday, too. Although, I gave the option this year for kids to have either a piece of candy, or a thing of playdough or bubbles. It's amazing how many kids chose the non-candy! Makes me think next year I'll get just a bunch of different toys (maybe some squishy eyeball things for the older kids), instead of candy.
On lying: I don't remember where I heard it (might have been around here somewhere, even), but I heard a great analogy once. Telling a lie is like blowing on a dandelion. It spreads far and wide, landing in places you wouldn't expect, and is nearly impossible to take back.

). Maybe see what they have to say. But have you been to Transports? Its also on College, but closer to Rockridge. Its just south of Claremont on college ave. on the east side. Try both stores and see ......
It's driving my OCD self a little nutty, but I'm letting it go because it's not my problem! Well, it will be eventually if things work out, but for right now I'm not worrying about it!
