Money For Candy

I'm going to steal an idea today that I got from a dentist who does it. Instead of letting my boys eat their giant bags of Halloween candy this weekend, I'm going to instead offer them a penny for each piece of candy that they're willing to give up. This way they'll get some money to use towards a non-candy gift (while practicing learning to count money) and they won't get all hyped up from the candy. Added Mommy bonus: less chance of cavities, too
