Hubba Bubba

The bowl of Halloween candy has dwindled into a mess of stale bubble gum and cheap lollipops. (Honestly, if the ingredients don't include chocolate-- consider it a waste of money to buy the candy!)

Last night, Lance decided to blow the biggest bubble possible out of Double Bubble gum. He had moderate success, but changed agendas and began to see how many pieces he could conceivably fit in his mouth.

After 20 pieces of sickeningly sweet pink gum, we ran out.

My first thought was, "What a sweet Dad that he would do all of this to entertain his kids." (They really were enraptured by it all.) But as I looked at his big goofy smile stuffed to the brim with pink goo, I realized that he would be doing this whether the kids were here or not.

I just love that goofball.
