Candy Fairy
So, did you know that Sammamish has a Candy Fairy? We didn't until somebody at church told us about it. What happens is this... whatever candy you have left after 3-4 days of Halloween you put it out on the front porch. The Candy Fairy takes the candy and leaves you money. Isn't that awesome? Our kids were SO excited about this. Money sings loud to our kids, or the thought of going to the store to buy something with that money is what really gets them. Anyway... the kids left their bags on the front porch Tuesday morning as they went off to school. Amazingly, when they came back from school the Candy Fairy had come, taken the candy and left them their own envelope with a big lipstick kiss on it with $5.00 in each envelope. (She has to make it worth the sacrifice of giving up all that yummy candy... and it was A LOT.) What is funner than that? We are so glad we live in Sammamish now. I don't know, maybe you all have a Candy Fairy where you live too but just didn't know about it. It would be worth checkin' out.

great idea! I might have to steal it...I was so tired of Ellie asking to have candy that the Monday morning after, I took her to the Barbie isle at Walmart and let her pick out a barbie, and we traded candy for the barbie. It worked and I didn't hear another word about candy, but the candy fairy idea is much cuter! :)
Love it!!! I am going to see if Tonawanda has a Candy Fairy next year...or maybe even tomorrow morning. Not even for my three year olds but for Scott. He has a lot of trouble staying out of the kids candy. I hope the Fairy can help that growing belly of his.
