Trick or Treat

Every year I like to make little treat bags for the kid's school friends, but I don't like to put candy since they'll all be getting plenty of that. Plus the poor Kid and his chocolate allergy, he never gets anything.

I found this giant box of Spongebob fruit chews, 30 bags for $5.99. I don't like my kids watching Spongebob, but they can spot a character when they see it. The over in the Halloween section they had tons of bags of toys, small probably-made-in-China-and-I'm-sure-the-lead-will-kill-you toys, 30 in a bag for just $3.99 AND stupid me missed the two for $5 sale. Oh well. Still a deal. I picked up some mini Chinese yo-yos and tiny mazes.

Total cost per bag, less than 50 cents. Not bad. I put one of each item in a plastic bag and tied it off with a ribbon and a Halloweenie gift tag. Wait. Let's get this straight, I didn't do anything, I got my in house child labor to stuff the bags, the Kid did 28 while the Baby did 2. Lay to the z. Still, I highly suggest hiring some child labor. They work for juice and cookies and really get the job done.
