When there is an abundance in candy, sort and graph--at least that's what my inner organizing, teacher self says to do.
Gretchen was ALL over the sorting, I might just put her to work on my pantry.
While Becket was all over the candy
Complete! Chocolate candy on one side and non chocolate candy on the other. This will at least buy you mom's an hour to make dinner.
Then you graph! Quite the unexpected math lesson. Dums Dums and non candy items (toys i.e. spider rings) won coming in at 55. Low were the Swedish Fish, much to Mat's dismay.
As for the candy talk next year: Not so much candy! (good thing gingerbread houses are coming up)
PS My pantry looks great, thanks Gretchen! I am so glad we both get highs on mucking out deep, dark, scary places.

I love how the candy becomes educational...brilliant!!!
Oh Mic. This post makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :)
This is absolute genius, Micki. Can't wait for Polly to get old enough to do more than chew through the wrappers to get to the chocolate inside.
You are so creative!! I love it!!
Kolby and I are cracking up at your hilarious kids' commentary. They are too funny. You are so smart to teach your kids with their candy!
wow, good work team harris! you guys are awesome!
I bet your kids are pretty smart with a smart mom like you :-).
Wow. You are an amazing Mom. I just ate my kids candy.
I love sorting Halloween candy! I have never graphed it however...I'm going to have to remember that for next year.
