[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 91533, member: 1233"] My kids have now been to 2 Halloween functions. One sponsored by a group held at the Fairgrounds and one at our church. thank you (who is someone who can morph who got stuck 1/2 sidewalk and 1/2 boy) does all the normal activities. He came home with a reasonable amount of candy, and spent much of his time with activities. Jess is another story. She has brought more candy home from these 2 events than my parents and I usually buy combined!! She is in a sling, dressed as a gypsy. Her arm is still very sore 3 weeks later (we are seeing an ortho on Tues). She is so helpful with trash and the little kids that at the end they have just given her whatever candy is leftover. The good part of this is that she gets a huge charge out of counting and graphing the candy. # of pieces, then divided into categories like chocolate, lollipops, caramels, etc... She has done a bar chart for the last 7 years. This year she branched out with only a little prodding and did a pie chart on the computer. It makes a fun little project for the family and uses math skills too! WE even do % of total for each category. Before too long she will be doing even more complicated stats on this. She can already do mean and median, as well as the range. Is everyone with an older kid getting all the leftovers dumped on her? Or is it the sling?? Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
