We Survived Halloween with Gummy Bears

We dressed up as Japanese samurais.
We did not go out, but we welcomed kids to our home.
We did not touch the candy, but we handed it out to others who could enjoy it.
We were not the Halloween Grinches after all (although mom was very inclined to be one, just so she could keep us out of trouble).
We stayed safe and had fun.
At the end of the evening, we had our own treat:  a couple of these yummy Gummy Bears. And these. And these.
And we were just fine.
