Presenting the Hamills:
Jonathan so appropriately dressed as a skunk;
Stephen, the white ninja;
Andrew, the black ninja;
Matthew, the soldier (and tank);
and Josie, the little ladybug.
The whole gang before the sugar-induced frenzy.
In the past I've just let them gourge themselves in the first day or two thus eliminating the constant requests for sweets (or temptation to parents!). This time they hit a few more houses.
The candy was dumped on the kitchen table and sorted according to allergy (fun, huh?): peanut-containing items (which thankfully didn't include the small Hershey bars, much to Stephen's delight); milk but no nuts (Stephen safe); egg items (this is a surprising one - Sweettarts and Nerds may contain egg); and finally a jar that contains items safe for Matthew (though he's a little tired of Skittles).
Next week the extras may just go to work with Dad.
