Belly Ache Day

Another Halloween has come and gone and tons and tons of candy have made their way into our house.   How much candy did you eat yesterday?

Bella went Trick-or-Treating with some friends and came home with gobs and gobs of candy.  We have so much candy that I think we might be able to start our own candy store!  Of course, we can't, because "someone" won't let us touch her candy.  Oh, and she hides her candy stash every year.  (yes, of course I know where the stash is hidden!)

Yes.  It's true.  Bella loves  likes to eat candy.  Oh, and, so does, RT!  The two of them already dove  into the huge candy stash and ate quite a bit of candy last night.  Talk about sugar highs!  I even saw RT squirrel away some candy for a rainy day (he thinks that I don't know that he does these things!)

My Dad always called the day after Halloween, "Belly Ache Day."  He said that on Halloween, you get lot of candy trick or treating and you tend to eat quite a bit that night.  You wake up the next day, and you have a belly ache from all of that candy you ate the day before!   I always thought it was funny.  I never ate too much candy on Halloween (probably because I had a fear of celebrating Belly Ache Day), so, I never suffered on Belly Ache Day.   I always relayed this to my children every year after Halloween.  The kids ate candy, but, no reported belly aches in our family on November 1.

If you are looking for some way to use up some of that Halloween candy, check out my recipe for Halloween Cupcakes.  (You can click HERE for that recipe)

Here's hoping that all of you are not suffering this Belly Ache Day!
