Trick-or-Treating

We went to my mom's neighborhood to go trick-or-treating so the kids could knock on her familiar door first. My mom was in the back yard doing yard work though, so they didn't open the door for the kids. They still gave the little superheros candy. We didn't go to many houses, just a quick trip down the street and back.
They were so good, saying "trick-or-treat" then "thank you, Happy Halloween!" We didn't have to Carry them either.
Then my little sweaty heads went back to show off their goods to Grandma.
My favorite thing the kids got were ACT II popcorn balls! I loved having one when I was a kid, that my mom made. There's also a Primary song about a popcorn ball smelling so sweet.

By now, the kids have eaten or shared their candy. I, sadly, have no self control, and ate a lot too. Since we weren't home to pass out candy until the last hour, I had a lot of good leftover yummy candy (which is now hidden).

SO, on Monday, I decided to go on the NC diet. My brother Matt is its founder. Basically, the rules are, No Crap. I wrote "NC" on my hand as a reminder; (smaller than Matt did.) From what I've learned about food to this point, I am not eating any crap. (I'm still eating a lot though.) But then today Steven made some delicious cookies and put a perfect one right in my hand assuring me it's ok to eat. Well, the cookie must have been poison, b/c I later ate a bite of the cookie dough, destroying my NC diet. I'm back on it though. I'm eating a lot of fruits, veggies, nuts, and juices. I'm only eating natural, organic, or 100% stuff. Everything else really is crap, you know. I'm telling you this so I will keep up with the will power and I'll pack my carrot slices and apple slices instead of my purse full of candy. Oh, and I'm running a RagnarRelay.com race accross the state of Florida in about a week. I'm only running 14 of the miles, broken up into 3 legs. I'm pretty sure I'm the slowest runner, but I didn't want to be the unhealthiest, hence the NC diet.
