But, that's not ... candy.


My sweet little boy is candy crazy. We have had to take all candy from the house to check his ravenous sweet tooth. So, needless to say, he has been looking forward to Halloween with a bright and happy heart.

Near us in a new store, Whole Foods, which has been a lot of fun to visit and shop in. We have found that is slightly more costly, mostly because we buy things we wouldn't normally find at our normal grocery store. They are savy enough to offer community programs which included a fall festival and trick or treat event. Unfortunately, in the style of an organic, healthy and eco-sensitive store, their treats were not the same items as my candy monster considers as treats.


The poor little boy looked at a box he was given, looked up adn asked the employee what it was. She smiled and brightly replied that a box of organic raisins. Shocked at this blasphemy, my little boy asked again what it was. Just in case she had actually said "candy". But no, my children were exposed to a new Halloween experience, Organic, Gluten Free, Organic Nutient Enhanced Water, Apple Sauce and Whole Grain treats. Good thing for my little sweet toothed boy he is in for the traditional house to house joyful sugar fest tonight.
