As the boys were looking through their rather piles of extra candy (this is after they took out candy for themselves) they started thinking of people they knew who liked a certain kind of candy. Right away the wanted to give all the plain M&M's to Mormor and all the Peanut M&M's to Morfar. So they ran upstairs to give them away. When they saw the pile of Snickers they thought of my cousin Beth's new Husband who likes those a lot. I told them if they wrote a note- I'd mail them to him.
Next Oliver shouted out "the Lunch ladies need some candy, cause they work super hard feeding everyone". That completely melted my heart- cause that is one group of people who probably always get overlooked. From there they sorted out all the rest of the pile into baggies for the office ladies, the principal, the bus guy and all their teachers. We went to school early on Monday morning after Halloween (not in costume this year) and walked around handing all the people their bags of candy. The boys were super excited to share and the people receiving were happy for the Monday treats. The Lunch Lady Oliver handed the candy to was almost in tears at his generosity and thoughtfulness. It almost had me crying too.
(I didn't actually remember to take photos while they were handing out the candy)
