Raleigh, Trenty and I hit up a local orthodontist today who was offering to buy back Halloween candy at a dollar a pound and Raleigh got 9 whole dollars!! Can you believe that? We had 9 pounds of candy in our house. Plus the extra candy in the freezer we left out for dad ; ) Anyway, Raleigh was excited about his own "real money"! I had coincidentally bought him a "Halloween" piggy bank at Target this morning at 50% off (he has always wanted one of those) so he was excited about it, and its just a cowboy one, not holiday-ish at all! I gave him all my change from the car too, so he put that in the bank as well. Anyway, Mommy made out pretty well with Target Halloween clearance stuff AND the candy is gone AND Raleigh has money to spend with Grammy tomorrow, yay!! Let the fun begin!!
PS Everyone is feeling much, much better! Hallelujah!!

What a clever orthodontist office! awesome idea.. OH and I just LOVE their costumes!! Raleigh makes the perfect Calvin with his hair all teased up in the earlier pictures. too cute!! I can't believe nobody got it, lol.. ;)
I can't get over how awesome that buy back is! Also...nine pounds is a ton of candy. :) It is way cooler for him to have the money than candy. What a cute piggy bank too! You are such a good mommy!
I thought we had TONS of candy this year with 3 trick-or-treaters. We took 2 lbs. of it to the dentist and I thought that was a lot. How in the world did you get 9+ lbs?
P.S. The top donation at our dentist was 43 lbs! Can you believe that? All from one family. That weighs more than my 6 year-old!
