L read a fact book that claimed 90% of parents have stolen candy from their kid's Halloween stash. I laughed and said, "In this house, it's 100%!" She and E were shocked and scandalized and have now planned to inventory their candy this year in order to prevent thievery.
Ninjas again for Halloween. They're doing their homework here.

Andrea J. Buchanan: Mother Shock: Loving Every (Other) Minute of It
What every new mom needs. This is one of the books that I give at baby showers. It's so important for you to know that you are not alone.
Anne Lamott: Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son's First Year
You are not alone. Not all of us are content, happy, and glowing with new motherhood. Some of us are barely hanging on.
Jim Fay: Love and Logic Magic for Early Childhood: Practical Parenting from Birth to Six Years
I would be tearing my hair out if I didn't have the techniques taught in this book. This book has given me tools to teach and love my kids without losing my mind.
Adele Faber: Siblings Without Rivalry: How to Help Your Children Live Together So You Can Live Too
Mandatory reading if you have sibling issues from way back or if you're on child #2. It seems like this book simply gives you common sense, but some of us need that help.
Yes, I've wondered how long it will take my son to be on to me about the Halloween candy. :) Maybe he shouldn't leave it downstairs when he goes to bed.

My girls, who are 10 and 6, are doing a theme this year too. They're both going at vampire cheerleaders, with the younger one wearing makeup that looks like blood dripping from the corner of her mouth and the older one having two bite marks on her neck, where the younger cheerleader bit her before the big game. Their cheerleading costumes are different colors too, which makes it seem as if the younger one bit a rival cheerleader.
Sadly, my husband and I weren't invited to be part of the theme but we're still loving the whole thing.

The other 10% of parents just wouldn't admit it!

What's the point of having children if we can't steal their Halloween candy?
