| Ready to make bracelets |
You may recall that here in Bloomington, The Great Pumpkin arrives the night after Halloween to pick up all the candy from Trick of Treating the night before. Well, minus the 10 favorite pieces which are put aside.
The Great Pumpkin takes the rest of the candy and distributes to all the kids who were unable to Trick or Treat on Halloween. Maybe they were sick, hurt or in the hospital. Not to worry, they get to share in the candy too!
And in exchange the child receives a toy for their effort. This year Ellie received cash in exchange for her candy! Two $5 bills were left behind by the Great Pumpkin!
So Ellie combined that money with the money from Aunt Lisa and went to Toys r Us to pick out a special prize! And since Ellie has been wanting Crazy Loom for quite awhile, today was the day! She was thrilled to spend the end of a gift card and the cash, all in exchange for a Crazy Loom!
She will likely have the refill rubber bands on her Christmas List, she's already told me! Oh yeah, and Hungry, Hungry Hippo which was her second choice at the Toys R Us today!
