Sometimes this Easter Bunny gets a little anxious. (I am often paranoid about everything, including not having enough food stuffs: enough milk, enough bread, enough eggs, enough candy at Halloween or Easter.) I bought all the Easter stuff I’d need almost a month ago in one fell swoop and stashed it in a sewing closet. Saturday night I pulled out the bags and realized, with reverse panic, that I had way, way more than I needed. The boys picked their baskets from a pile at a thrift store and they were smaller than usual–also, they were pink.
If I was thinking ahead I could have partnered with another mom in my neighborhood and split the candy. They come in such big packs–6 marshmallow eggs? 12 bars of chocolate? A giant bag of empty plastic eggs? I have 2.5 kids who probably don’t need any more sugar. Now I’m left with bags and bags half-filled with chocolates, Sweet Tarts, and marshmallowy junk.
What do I do with all the leftover candy?
I don’t have an office where I can bring it.
I could eat it, but I don’t even like candy that much anyway.
I don’t want to eat it.
Could I throw it away? Eeek! The thrifty in me can’t bear the waste!
Make a collage?
Irresponsibly keep feeding it to my kids?
