Yes! Such a good idea. And taking candy from babies... always a good idea! No good can come from the little ones having candy. Besides, their haul might be what you need to get through the day. ;)
I hope that the transition to have @chackett gone for a bit isn't too tough. That's great you're all going to be getting a bit more moolah out of the deal. It's not easy, but hopefully it's just for a season.
