Halloween Dilemma

On Saturday I was headed down to Oxnard for something, and asked Philip (my roommate, just in case you forgot) if he had any use for going down with me. He didn't want to go down, but gave a Walmart gift card he's been hanging onto since graduation. Oxnard (40 miles away) is the closest Walmart to us. Needless to say, he's just been wanting to get this thing used up. We talked about what we could use, but could only come up with one thing: Halloween candy to pass out.

So now we have $20 worth of Halloween candy, which is a considerable amount since Walmart is so cheap. We can't even fit all of it in the gigantic bowl we have. So we are all set to hand out candy to kids tomorrow night.

Here's the dilemma: A friend at Church just invited us to go to a "Harvest" party at their house tomorrow night. Both of us want to go, but that doesn't leave anyone at home to pass out the candy. We talked about it and decided that we would just both go, and not worry about whether or not kids got enough candy. So now we have a giant stash of candy, and I'm not sure what we'll do with it. Based on the rate at which either of us eats candy, it would probably last until Halloween of 2007 with just the two of us eating it. I guess we'll just leave a big bowl out and encourage guests to have at least as much as they want, and preferably more.
